Worcester - Louis P. Jacques, 75, of Worcester, passed away peacefully on Thursday, June 7, 2018 at Beaumont Skilled Nursing Center in Worcester after a long illness.
He leaves his wife, Jacqueline, 3 stepchildren, Mark Notarangelo, Michael Notarangelo, and Jacqueline Lowell and her husband Jon, and his granddaughter Lilliana Lowell, all of Worcester. He also leaves a brother, Robert Jacques and his wife Francine of Shrewsbury, and two sisters, Sister Michele Jacques, SSA of Worcester, and Elise Jacques and her husband George Kelley of Thompson, CT; two nephews, Robert Jacques of Shrewsbury, Daniel Jacques of Holden and a niece, Michele Kelley of Cambridge.

Worked with Lou in the early 1980s @ Paul Revere. His avocation as a Renault mechanic lead to many discussions surrounding my troublesome car. Best wishes to his family.

Lou,
I always enjoyed playing a good game of chess with you at Worcester Chess Club. I still remember, you beat me the last time we played a couple years ago.
God bless,
Brad

Garreth Lynch, Ph.D. wishes Jacqueline and family most sincere condolences. Louis Jacques was a gentleman and a scholar even back in the days of our Assumption Prep acquaintance. At Holy Cross, he often cautioned me about having too much fun.
He's in my prayers.
