To my godfather, Moe, I am so happy to have had the opportunity to visit with you and Paulette with my wife, Konnie, several years ago now.It was a memory-maker and a time we will cherish forever. Sweet memories of you and Rene in Claremont when we would visit as kids. Always a fun time to be with the Joyal family. I didn't even mind getting stung by your Dad's bees. I'm following your example of a long and satisfied career, strong faith, and love of family. Thank you for being in my life and making it better. Our condolences to Paulette and family. Love you all and keeping everyone in prayer. Philip "Chip" & Konnie Beauregard

Love everything that Uncle Moe shared with me. He is the one that really supported me in Astronomy and got me involved with knowing the constellations, which led to the purchase of my first telescope, and he shared his SKY AND TELESCOPE magazines with me. This from junior high through high school. I wanted to study astronomy! However my math grades didn't make it, so my path changed but my interest in Space always was there. I also have great memories of sleepovers at Aunt Paulette's & Uncle Moe's first home in Acton, as well as the great summers 'babysitting' at Cape Cod. More summer fun than work! And best of all, their vacation in France where they were our guests in Paris!
So many great memories that will always be in my heart. So lucky to have had you in my life. You are now a shining star in Heaven.
