In loving memory of a truly wonderful person who will be missed by all. My thoughts and prayers are with all of Marcel's family. My husband and I spent many Friday nights enjoying Nancy's fish fries at the Penny Bar. Boyd had a sales route for Ray's Chilli and Kelly's Potato Chips and Marcel's was on h is weekly stop. The last time I saw and talked with Marcel, we sat next to each other at a show at the Hoogland Center. It's been several years ago but we caught up on all our family...

Marcel was a wonderful friend, and boss, he always made me feel like I was a little sister, and was always looking out for me.
Lots of love to his family! He talked about you all, and some I met, including his dad"Cub", Uncle Ray, brother Raymond, daughter Michelle, Steve, and Mark. Grandson Jason, better known as a big Kiss fan.
He made a big impact on alot of lives at his little version of "Cheers".

Our prayers are with you all. I’m sure he has left a huge void in all your hearts. There isn’t enough room to express what Marcel meant to us & our family. We’ve been together since before we were all married. He was our Groomsman 60 years ago. We even share God Children. His family has always been like family to us. Tons of wonderful memories . Rest In Peace Marc. You definitely will be sorely missed.

My deepest sympathy for your loss of a great man. Had many great times with him over the years, especially at the Penny Bar. He will be missed by family and many friends and acquaintances...never knew a stranger. I don't think I ever saw him without a smile.

Sorry to hear of Marcel's passing.
Went to Cathedral High School with Marcel, and spent time with Him at our 54 class monthly get together.
