BRASSARD

EUGENE ALBERT BRASSARD (Bud), passed away peacefully after a lengthy illness on Wednesday, December 14, 2016 at the age of 91 years.

He will be lovingly remembered by his wife of seventy-one years Elsie, his four children: Gladys Novak of Madison, Wisconsin, Wayne (Elizabeth) Brassard of Calgary, Dale (Brenda) Brassard of Calgary, and Trevor (Nancy) Brassard of Lethbridge. He is survived by eight grandchildren, eleven great grandchildren, and sister Clara Beaudin of Innisfail, Alberta.

Bud was predeceased by his mother Lucienne and father Henri, five brothers and one sister.

Born in Bassano on January 12, 1925, Bud spent his early life in the Hussar area. He joined the RCAF during World War II, and after being discharged he met the love of his life, Elsie. They were married and settled in Lethbridge in 1946, where he worked in the Automotive Industry for 30 years. During the seventies, Bud and his wife started a small business, Elsie’s Confectionary, which they ran for ten years. They then moved to Magrath where they ran Family Billiards for ten years. In 2001 they retired and moved back to Lethbridge.

The family would like to extend thanks to the wonderful staff at Good Samaritans Society, Park Meadows Village, Cottage #1.

A private family service will be held at a later date.
