Jan. 15, 1951 — March 17, 2022
Claude Bouvry, beloved husband of Louise Bouvry (Poirier), passed away on Thursday, March 17, 2022, at the age of 71 years.
Claude was born in 1951 on his family’s farm in France, where his parents grain farmed and raised cattle. He moved to Canada in 1968 to study at the HEC University of Montreal where he obtained an MBA. His passion for farming and ranching led him to southern Alberta where he built a prosperous agricultural business. He was proud to ship his high-quality Albertan meat back to his home country and other parts of the world. He was an intelligent, poetic and philosophical man who left a lasting impression on those who met him. He built strong ties and friendships with many of the people he worked with. Although very often absorbed by his work, he loved to travel and discover other landscapes and cultures. Nonetheless, one of his favourite places to be, was along the Old Man River where he could unwind and admire his animals grazing.
Besides his loving wife, Claude is survived by his two daughters, Delphine (Lionel) and Julia (Antoine); son Eliot; as well as seven grandchildren, Hugues, Renaud, Edgar, Aimee, Paul, Emma and Sara. He is also survived by his two brothers, two sisters, as well as numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins.
A memorial service will be announced at later date. Condolences, memories, and photos may also be shared and viewed there.
