Obituary of RICHARD CHARBONNEAU

Richard (Rick) Roland Charbonneau, 63, died at 11:00pm on November 22, 2011. Richard is survived by his two daughters, Angela Charbonneau (Darrell Neumann), and Bonnie Charbonneau (Shaun Abuda); granddaughter Athena Abuda (Bonnie Charbonneau); mother, Stella Charbonneau; brother, Dennis Charbonneau; and his very good friends, Mary Ann Wiebe, Don, and Denise. Rick was born in Windsor, Ontario and moved to Winnipeg, Manitoba. Richard was a friendly man who enjoyed meeting friends at the local coffee shop down the street. His hobbies were working on vehicles and having multiple projects to complete at once. He was a creative person who enjoyed drawing and painting. He was happiest at family gathering, especially when his two daughters were goofing around. He loved wildlife, and all animals, especially his cat "Blacky", Bonnie’s cat "Dale" and Angela’s two dogs "Baby" and "Honey." The smile on his face when he got to see the animals is unforgettable. He will be missed and never forgotten. Our family wishes to express heartfelt thanks to family and friends, for their love and support during this difficult time. There will be no service.
