Devoted and beloved husband of Liane, loving father of Philippe (Pina), Anne (Philippe) and Stephen (Chantale) and granddad to Alexandre, Gabrielle, Stephanie, Caroline, Ashley and Daphnee.

Brother to Gilberte (Eliseo) and to Jacqueline (late Stan) and brother-in-law to Denis (Louise). He will always remain in our hearts. He also leaves many nieces, nephews and cousins as well as many close friends. He was passionate about art, classical music, travelling, chess and bridge.
