Remie was born February 22,1929, in Somerset, Manitoba, and the family moved to Ross when he was ten. He met Helen in Ontario, while working to build the TransCanada highway. After marrying they settled in Ross, where he was determined to stay his whole life. He was an animal lover from a young age and rarely didn’t have any around his hobby farm.  He enjoyed farm life, playing cards, fishing, carpentry projects, gardening and spending time with friends and family. Special thank you to Roger Lily for his loyal friendship over the past years. Thank you also to Ste Anne hospital for their great care this last month of his life.
