Gilles Roberts Obituary
Plainfield - Gilles A. Roberts, 67, passed away June 5th, 2020, surrounded by his family. He was born September 7th, 1952 in Newport VT. Gilles was the son of the late Aldemand and Gisele (Lauzon) and Lillian (Lemoine)Roberts. Gilles grew up in Plainfield and graduated from PHS in 1970. He worked as a carpenter before starting at Federal Paperboard in 1978, retiring a few years ago. Gilles was, also, an avid fan of the Baltimore Orioles and the LA Rams. His family was his top priority and thoroughly enjoyed anything to do with the outdoors. Surviving him are his two daughters: Nicole and Danielle, and granddaughter Brooke, wife Renee, three siblings Jeannine, Lucille and Gerald, stepchildren, niece, nephew, and several cousins. A celebration of life will be held at a later date for anyone lucky enough to have known him and to say their goodbyes. www.doughertybrosfuneralhome.com

Gilles, Jay Pierce and I were best of friends spending lots of time together prior to our High School freshman year as I attended St. Bernard HS and we lost touch. We would spend free time at my home wrestling. Gilles was a good friend and I will always be thankful for having known him and more importantly to have known him as my friend. My sincere sympathy to Gilles family .
