Donald Sauve

1949 ~ 2012

With his family by his side, Don Sauve left us on August 21, 2012.

Left to mourn his passing is his wife, “the love of his life” Lorraine, his sons Alan (Diane), Yves (Michelle),  and Dan (Dawn), his grandchildren Savannah, Sydney, Maelle, Mylene, Paige and Hunter, his dog Clark, and his two “daughters”, his nieces Lisa and Nicole.

He is predeceased by his parents, Joe and Gertrude, his brother Albert, father-in-law Norman Trudel and his infant sister-in-law Rose Marie.  And no words can describe the void felt by the rest of his family:  mother-in-law Jeanette Trudel-Hawranik, sister-in-laws Louise, Irene (Armand), Denise (Edgar), Della (Noel) and Annette (Melvin), as well as his many nephews and nieces to whom “Uncle Don” was synonymous with fun.

While he loved his work and some of his other pastimes such as hunting, his real passion was his family.  He enjoyed spending time with his boys, whether it was doing some work, watching sports or just chatting.  He could spend hours with Lorraine just driving around – as long as they were together he was happy.  And there was always an extra special place in his heart for his grandchildren.  There was always time to do whatever they wanted to do – the word “spoiled” never seemed to do it justice, but “love” certainly did.

His family would like to express their gratitude to the doctors, nurses and staff of the Pine Falls Hospital and the Health Sciences Centre CCU/MICU ward in Winnipeg.  Their care; and most importantly, their caring were second to none.

In lieu of flowers, please make a donation in his name to the Arthritis Society.

A celebration of his life was held on Sunday, August 26^2, 2012 at 1:00 p.m.  at 65 Papineau Place, St. George, MB.  As Don would want it, please dress casually.
