Maurice was born and raised in Winnipeg and from a young age was passionate about sports. He played hockey for many years as a kid and was a big Jets fan. Maurice was also a huge Bomber fan and a season ticket holder for many years. He was a hard worker, employed at DeFehr Furniture for over 25 years before the cancer diagnosis made it impossible. Maurice will always be remembered as a loving family man, a proud papa to his three precious grandchildren and the glue that held them all together. He will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.
