Pierre NORMANDEAU Obituary
1959 – 2014
It is with a heavy heart that we announce the peaceful passing of beloved Pierre Normandeau on Thursday, August 28, 2014 at the age of 55. Our hero fought a courageous eleven month battle against Leukemia, demonstrating true positivity by winning the day each and every day and left this world with serenity and dignity. He is survived by his devoted wife Cindy; his cherished daughter and son, Michelle and Marc; his parents Claire and Roland; his sisters Nicole and Lynne; his brother Michel; and many adoring nieces and nephews as well as many supportive friends. Pierre was a respected community figure who not only coached sports but taught life lessons. He will forever remain in the hearts of all who knew him. In the words of Pierre, "Win The Day." Visitation will be held at Maison funéraire Roussin, 1934, Ste-Angélique, St-Lazare, QC on Friday, September 5, 2014 from 6:00 – 10:00 p.m. and Saturday, September 6 from 10:00 a.m., followed by the Funeral Service at St-Thomas D'Aquin church, 413 Main Road, Hudson, QC on Saturday at noon. Those wishing to make a donation may consider la Maison de soins palliatifs de Vaudreuil- Soulanges, 90 Como Gardens, Hudson, QC, or the Marc Normandeau Fund of the Montreal Children's Hospital Foundation.

To the family of Pierre. I have been trying to connect with him. I just learned of his passing. I am so sad for your loss. Pierre was a dear friend of mine in university and a great part of our wedding in the wedding party and MC. We are so sad to hear the news.

Dear Cindy, Michelle, Marc and Pierre's greater family,
I had the pleasure of meeting Pierre many years ago professionally and had recently reconnected through a mutual friend because of his message to 'Win the Day'. I was diagnosed back in June with stage IV prostate cancer with a tumour that had severely compressed my spinal cord. Our friend Susan passed along Pierre's inspiration to win the day and it has become my daily inspiration as well as that of my family and friends. I have been responding well to treatment and have had minimal side effects from chemotherapy I attribute in large part to a positive outlook.
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. I wanted you to know that Pierre's daily inspiration gives me and my family incredible strength and a positive outlook to get the most out of life each day as I battle cancer and regain my full mobility. I will forever be grateful for his inspiration to always 'Win the Day'.

Cindy and family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you and the entire family during this very difficult time. Though I have only known Pierre for 6 years here at Vocera, he has been an amazing inspiration both personally and professionally. It's an incredible understatement to say that he'll be missed, he will never be forgotten. I, as many, have adopted his motto, Win the Day! All the peace, strength and comfort to you at this time!

Thank you for the memories Pierre.

Cindy, Michelle, Marc,
I met Pierre while at Octel in the early 90's. We had an instant bond, and Pierre was like a brother to me. Mentor, friend, and an inspiration to all who met him. What a journey for an amazing family man and friend. We are deeply saddened with the news of Pierre's passing. The world has lost an amazing man. His lifelong battle of this disease was an inspiration to so many. Pierre was a gentle giant and I often marvelled at his positive outlook, generous personality, and willingness to help so many throughout his life. The memories will never fade, and my friend will never be forgotten. Love and Life describe Pierre. Of course he coined the phrase, WTD, and this will be guiding light for all of us who had the pleasure of knowing this man. Thoughts and Prayers are with the entire family. We miss him dearly. Love and strength to the Normandeau's.
