Uncle Noel was my grandfather Damase's brother – my own father (Patrick) gave me the middle name Noel in honour of this great man. A man of integrity, strength and courage – an incredible inspiration to both family & friends!
Rest in Peace and find comfort in the stars with our ancestors dear Uncle – I am deeply honoured to carry your name with my own, with great pride :)

I will not say good bye dear friend. But, until we meet again. You were such an inspiration to me and showed me the way. The only way I can show my respect and love for you, is not pick up that first drink. Like you taught me, You truly are a wonderful, kind, selfless man.

The Broken Chain
We little knew that morning that God was going to call your name, in life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone. For part of us went with you, the day God called you home. You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide, And though we cannot see you, your always at our side. Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same, But as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.
We love you Grandpa forever and for always xo

Heartfelt sorrow to the children grandchildren and the rest of the extended family. I am proud to call him Uncle Noel who was a teacher friend and the kindest man I have had the pleasure to know. He taught me many many things about my family history. Thank you and may you rest in peace.
