It is with profound sadness that the family of Maurice Gerard Lafond announces his passing on May 16, 2021, in the comfort of his home, with family by his side. Maurice was born on July 10, 1943 in Leoville, SK, to Lucien and Rose Lafond. Maurice and his five siblings were raised on the family farm in Leoville. On July 31, 1965, Maurice married the love of his life, Hellen and was blessed with four children. Maurice proudly worked in his positions with the government for 33 years. Maurice will always be remembered for his loving, outgoing and kind nature.
