Truly one of the pioneering settlers of Broadlands, LeFrancois lived on the same homestead since 1913. After his wife Camille died in 1960 he twice traveled to France by air, and he contributed sketches of Winnipeg River beauty spots. He is survived by daughter Andree La Francois of St Denis France, granddaughter Yvette Fraser of Winnipeg, and grandsons Christopher and Daniel Fraser of Winnipeg.
