SIDNEY BRUYERE

Sidney Bruyere passed away after a courageous battle with heart, diabetes, and kidney diseases on Thursday, Feb. 20, 2014 at St. Boniface Hospital in Winnipeg, Man.
He was born Feb. 22, 1947 in Fort Frances, Ont. to George and Bella Bruyere.
He was just minutes behind his twin, Sterling, and spent the rest of his life beating Sterling to everything—he made sure he was never last again.
Sid loved the outdoors and was very passionate about fishing and hunting. He operated the Stoke Bay Resort for many years until a heart attack forced him into retirement in 2007.
Sid was a simple and humble person who never asked for anything, but always was generous to his family and friends.
He was predeceased by his father, George; mother, Bella (Morrisseau); brothers, Marvin, Arnold, and Rudy; and sisters-in-law, Catherine, Maggie, and Lynn Bruyere.
Sid leaves behind his brothers, Sterling, Larry (Eileen), Douglas, Lyle (Joan), and Frank (Peggy) Bruyere; sisters, Shirley Sollen (Charles), Karen Chaboyer, and Lyla Bruyere; sisters-in-law, Shirley Bruyere and Myrtle Bruyere; as well as numerous nieces and nephews.
Visitation will be held Thursday, Feb. 27, 2014 from 7-9 p.m. at Green Funeral Home in Fort Frances. Prayers will be offered at 7:30 p.m.
Funeral services will be held Friday, Feb. 28, 2014 at 10:30 a.m. at Green Funeral Home, with Fr. Victor De Gagné officiating.
Cremation will take place following the service.
The honourary pallbearers will be his nieces and nephews.
