RESTOULE, Howard Charles

A Warrior has fallen - Born on February 17, 1930, Howard was called home to be with his Lord, on June 15, 2007, peacefully at Cassellholme, North Bay, in the loving presence of his daughter Tracey and granddaughter Stephanie. Also survived by his loving daughter Glenda (son-in-law Simon Snow) of Toronto. Dear brother of Brian (Carole) of Hanmer, Albert (Kathleen), Nell Knight and Bertha Yzereef all of North Bay. Sadly missed and lovingly remembered by many loving nieces, nephews and godchildren. Predeceased by his beloved wife Elizabeth(1997), his parents, John C. Restoule and Pauline Dokis, his brother Nelson Restoule and his sister Marilyn Restoule. Howard began working at a young age on Dokis First Nation, helping to build a connecting road from Dokis Island towards Monetville. After moving to North Bay in the late 1940's, Howard was employed by R.J. Minogue & Co., Truco Inc. and the Ontario Metis & Non-Status Indian Assoc. In 1982 Howard became the Executive Director of the Ininew Friendship Centre in Cochrane and successfully remained until 1997, leaving to be with his beautiful wife Elizabeth until her passing. Howard worked for Beaverhouse First Nation in Kirkland Lake until 2003 when his ill health took over. He battled many health problems with courage and dignity. Howard never let his ill health take away his beautiful smile. He will be remembered always for his gentle spirit, intelligent mind and the love for his family. Special thanks to all nurses of North Bay General Hospital who took good care of Howard for his many hospital stays. Thanks to Dr. Prins and Dr. Phillipson and staff at Cassellholme 2 North.
