Read More	DRUWE, John Leon: It is with great sadness that we say goodbye to a wonderful father, grandfather and great grandfather who passed away suddenly in Brandon on Sunday, August 12, 2007. John will be lovingly remembered by his children: Monica (Richard) Chomos, Jacquie (Jim) Stuart, Duane (Shannon) Druwe and Melissa (Austin) May. His grandchildren: Neil (Ellie) Chomos, Nicole (Ken) Homeniuk, Erin (Mark) Toth, Everett Elaina and Eden Stuart, Nathan, Breanne and Ryan Druwe, Kaitlyn and Nolan May; great-grandchildren Hayden and Shay-Lynn Homeniuk and Hailey Chomos, his brother Charles (Marie) Druwe, sister-in-law Bertha Moreau, brother-in-law Edward (Olga) Helman and numerous nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his parents Victor and Marie, his sons Neil and Barry, his wife Marguerite and sister Jeanne Gilliard. John was born on August 5, 1921 in Findlay, Manitoba. He grew up on the farm there and went to school in Grande Clairiere. His father passed away when John was 13 and as the oldest son, he took on the responsibility of running the farm. In 1943, he married Marguerite Helman. They bought a general store and moved to Fertile, SK in 1947. In 1950, tragedy struck when the store burned down and their two sons perished. The following year, they moved to Brandon, MB. John worked at John Deere and Johnson's Hardware until he decided to enroll in the psychiatric nursing course at the Brandon Mental Hospital. He graduated in 1956 and worked there until his retirement in 1986. John was a faithful member of St. Augustine's Church for 56 years and was a member of the Knights of Columbus. His devotion to his family and friends was an integral part of his life. He was an avid gardener and his family, friends and neighbors reaped the benefits of his green thumb. Sports played a big part in his life. In their younger years, he and Marguerite curled and bowled. Later in life he took up bowling again and was introduced to the joys of golfing which became his passion. Prayers were held at the Brockie Donovan Chapel on Thursday, August 16, 2007 at 7:00 p.m. Mass of Christian Burial was held at St. Augustine's Roman Catholic Church on Friday, August 17, 2007 at 10:30 a.m. with Fr. Dominic Yuen as Celebrant. Interment followed at the Brandon Cemetery. Active Pallbearers were Francis Gilliard, Cyril Druwe, Wade Gilliard, Larry Martel, Ed Boulanger and Andy Boulanger. Honorary Pallbearers were Maurice Boulanger and Daniel Gilliard. In lieu of flowers, donations in memory of John may be made to the Canadian Mental Health Association, 23-12th Street, Brandon, MB, R7A 4L6 or to the Heart & Stroke Foundation, Unit 3-824-18th Street, Brandon, MB, R7A 5B7.
