We are saddened to announce the passing of our dear husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. Lucien passed away peacefully on May 30, 2014 after a brief battle with leukemia at 81 years of age. He was born in Prince Albert, SK on October 14, 1932, to Pierre and Elsie Boyer. The eldest of three children, he was raised on the family farm near Hoey, SK. He attended Oxford and Hoey schools. Lucien farmed with his father for many years, eventually taking over the mixed farming operation. He married Genevieve Pelletier in 1960. Together they raised three children. They retired in 2001, moving to Prince Albert, SK. Lucien enjoyed farming and was very interested in farm-related activities long after he retired. He enjoyed crop tours, watching the changing seasons, cottage life, listening to old-time music, travelling, and the company of family and friends.
