George Lucien Larre

     George Larre was born in Paradise Hill, SK to Jean Baptiste and Pauline Larre on November 24, 1945. He was the second oldest of nine children. He was raised on the farm in the Stonehouse.  As a child, George attended school at Butte St. Pierre, St. Walburg and went to St. Thomas College in North Battleford.  On May 20th, 1972, he married Bernice Thompson and they resided on the family farm where they raised their three children. In 1995 they moved south of Paradise Hill to the farm where Bernice grew up. Besides his family and friends, George’s love for his cattle was a major part of his life. It started in the purebred Herefords which later turned into a commercial cattle operation. He did this all his life until his health prevented him from doing so. After, his knowledge and opinions were always shared. Some of his favourite past times were spent judging 4-H shows and culling bulls. He also served as the Reeve of the RM of Frenchman Butte. Playing and coaching hockey and ball was also something he loved to do. Many of his lifelong friends were made during these times. 
     He was predeceased by: his parents, Jean Baptiste (1999) and Pauline (2010); his brothers, Joseph (1956) and Louis (1964); his father-in-law, Jack Thompson (2003); his mother-in-law, Mabel Thompson (2004);  and his nephew, Sheldon Moylan (2019). 
     George is survived by: his wife of 50 years, Bernice; his children, Teresa, Kelly (Jen) and Crystal (Rick); his grandchildren, Kennedy, Coby, Kaelyn, Cameryn (Kelly), Zach, Hailey, Ashley and Easton (Crystal); his siblings, Cecile (Brian), Claudette (Bud), Yvonne (Tom), Alice (Harold), Hélène (Robert) and Leonard (Joan); and numerous nieces and nephews.

George will be dearly missed and remembered by all his  family and friends.
