HUARD, HENRI "HENRY" CAMILLE
1925-2010
HENRY CAMILLE HUARD, beloved friend of Mae Lewis of Picture Butte, AB., passed away at the Chinook Regional Hospital in Lethbridge, AB., on Saturday, July 10, 2010, at the age of 84 years.

Henry was the loving father of; Betty (Frank) Pollard of Shaughnessy, AB., Beverley (Larry) Saretzky of Kelowna, BC., Barbara (Bryan) Harrison of Lloydminster, SK., Rodney (Elaine) Huard of Wainwright, AB., Douglas Huard of Vernon, B.C., Wendy (John) Sirovyak of Edmonton, AB. and Victor (Kathy) Huard of Saskatoon, SK.

Henry was born on August 4, 1925 on the homestead in Whitkow, Saskatchewan to Marie Rose and Camille Huard. As their family grew it became necessary for Dad to seek work away from the family farm at the tender age of 13 years. This allowed him to mature and develop good work ethics. He met and married Jean Gordon in 1945. Together they had 7 children, 4 girls and 3 boys.

Dad went on to become a mechanic and spent the next 25 years working in Lloydminster, Alberta. He then moved to Edmonton where he worked until he retired. During his retirement he let his free spirit take over and did a lot of traveling. When he was finished traveling he moved into the Piyami Manor in Picture Butte where he resided until his passing.

A Memorial Service will be held at CORNERSTONE FUNERAL HOME, 2800 Mayor Magrath Drive South, Lethbridge, AB., on Thursday, July 15, 2010 at 11:00 A.M., with Reverend Trevor Potter officiating.
