Paul Adrian SASSEN

SASSEN, Paul Adrian January 31, 1964 - May 12, 2018 It is with great sorrow and sadness that we announce the unexpected death of Paul Sassen at his home on Clear Lake, Saturday May 12, 2018. Paul had a beautiful day, he had proudly seen his son, Tom, off to work, he had visited with his Dad, then returned home to putter in the garden with his lovely Louise. Paul was very social and had a smile for everybody, especially children. He had the uncanny ability to know your name. He was a voracious reader, an avid traveler and an accumulator of knowledge in its purest form. He loved and supported the arts, sciences, and all youthful enterprises. Paul was the beloved of Louise St. Jacques; adoring father of Thomas James; eldest son of James and Evelyn; big brother of Julia (Craig), Elaine, Mark (Kathy) and Marianne; cherished uncle of Katherine, Emily, Anna, Matthew, Samuel and Henry. Paul will be missed sorely by the entire St. Jacques family (Louis-Georges and Marie-Paule), with whom he spent so many treasured moments and happy occasions. Visitation is on Thursday, May 17, 2018 6:00 p.m.-9:00 p.m. and Friday, May 18, 2018 2:00 p.m.-5:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m.-9:00 p.m. at Menards funeral home, 395 Grace Street, Lachute, QC J8H 1M3. The funeral will be held on Saturday, May 19, 2018 at 1:00 p.m. at St. Simeon's Anglican church, 445 Main Street, Lachute, QC J8H 1Y4. A private burial for the Sassen and St.Jacques families will follow at St. Aidan's cemetery, Wentworth. Paul's short but full life will be celebrated at a reception on Saturday, May 19, 2018, at 3:00 p.m., at The Lachute Golf Club, 355, Bethany Avenue, Lachute, QC J8H 3X5. In lieu of flowers, a donation can be made to the Lachute-4H Club, one of Paul's favorite organizations. A box will be made available at the Lachute Golf Club.
