Lucien T. Lessard

I miss you grandpa.

I´ve looked for you for years. Hope you are well my friend.

I just happened on this and my heart is saddened. To Ginette and family I´m so sorry for your loss. Please know I think of you often Ginette. Pat Thibodeau (McCleary) Murdie. I live in Tennessee now, and would love to catch up.

My deepest sympathy to Claire and the Lessard family for the loss of a great man. Be assured that he's up there busy tending another garden like he can do well.

I knew I had a wonderful uncle but after reading about him I learned I really didn't know everything about him. I was always amazed by his beautiful yard in Albany--wonderful grapes and delicious cherries, and then I walked into paradise in his backyard in Folsom! I feel privileged to have known such a wonderful man and to be his niece. I will miss his sweet smile and him teasing in his cute French accent. My prayers and thoughts are with you, Aunt Claire, and to my cousins. Love, Kiki...

Although it saddens me that I wasn't able to spend more time with Lucien, for me, his memory will live on, just as his flowers continue to return year after year. I always loved walking through his garden, eating fruit off the trees, and listening to him talk about his plants, like they were friends of his that he had longstanding relationships with. I will miss him dearly, and my heart goes out to everyone who knew him.

Dear Claire and Family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you. Draw strength from each other and know that Lucien's love for you will help you to get through these difficult times.

No words can really comfort you and your family but please know our deepest prayers and wishes are always with you.

May his memory give you strength at this difficult time.

very sorry for your loss,

Denise (Gallant) & John Caldwell

What I will always remember most about Grandpa is our woodworking projects. Everything I know he taught me, and almost all the tools I have he found for me at garage sales. I was 10 and we were building a chair one day, and we had put it together and stained it, but I wanted to put arms on it and he didn't. I agreed with him, but then a little part of grandpa awoke in me, and I snuck into the garage in the middle of the night and put them on. I love you Grandpa. Ryan
