It is with much love and sadness that we announce the passing of our father and grandfather Gil Marcel Grenier. Gil passed away in peace and without pain on Sunday, August 21, 2011.

He was born and raised in St. Isidore de Bellevue, SK to Dom Leo and Rebecca Grenier on May 25, 1926. In 1967 Gil married Marie Ange LeBlanc DeMong and had two children.
