in Mulhouse, France and came to Canada at the tender age of two. He was a man of strong convictions - "a what you see is what you get" - kind of guy. You always knew where you stood with Patrick, even if you didn't agree with him! He worked at several jobs over the years, meeting his wife Gloria while working at Vanguard Ind.

We will always see Patrick in the twinkle in Justin's eyes, in Sean's quick wit, and Daddy's little girl will never forget him or stop loving him.

FREDRICK MOORE
FREDRICK GEORGE MOORE On Sunday, June 6, 2004 at 9:30 p.m., after a long, hard struggle, Fred drew his last precious breath. He died peacefully at home, in his own bed as he had wished. Fred (Dudie) was born
in Manigotagan on June 20, 1927 to George (Shorty) and Martha (Dottie) Moore. He was the first born
of seven children, six who survived infancy. He is survived by his loving wife Sis; children, Freda (Cyril Genaille), Rick (Arlene), Steven Thomas, Marilyn Thomas and Kimberley (Curtis Moore); as well as his grandchildren; two great-grandchildren; and siblings, Anne (Louis Dowie), Edna (John Simperl), Berneice (Gerry Herbst), Walter (Anna) and Georgetta (Jim Kirkness). Fred's heritage into a family of prospectors could not be denied. He became a diamond driller and began his lifelong love affair with the great outdoors, "God's Cathedral." He was not expecting a whole new life to unfold at the age of 50 when he was introduced to Sis in the shed row at Assiniboia Downs. It would be a year later that they began their life together in Kamloops and McLure, BC, then back to Manitoba: Fraserwood, Gimli and recently Winnipeg. Fred, at times, could be stubborn, obstinate, selfish and irresponsible, but he was more so loving, patient and easy going. He was young at heart and managed to teach his family about life in the bush and entertained us with his amazing ability to tell stories and jokes for hours - never the same one twice. His wonderful sense of humour and sometimes just plain orneriness would help carry him through twelve years of prostate cancer, emphysema and finally lung cancer. And who could ever forget the whistling... A memorial service will be held on Thursday, June 10 at 1:30 p.m. in the Worship Centre at Riverview Health Centre with Chaplain Theresa Campbell officiating. Refreshments will follow. Interment will take place at Traverse Bay, MB at a later date. Fred and Sis extend their deepest thanks to the angels who came into our lives on this journey; the staff at Riverview 3E, Mary Ashcroft and the Palliative Care Team for helping us spend the last six months at home, Chaplain Theresa Campbell, hospice volunteer Dwaine Gauthier, faithful friends and most especially to Dr. Janice Mulder.
