Rolland DUSSAULT Obituary
July 21, 1946 - June 4, 2017
He will be missed by a loving family, Moira, Bonnie (David), Avril, Andrew, Sarah (Juanchy), Emma Isabella, Christine, Tina (Pat) and many great-nephews, and great- grandnephew. So many knew him as Rolly, a gentle, kind man who cared about all those he came in touch with. He started his working career June 9, 1965 when he joined the Canadian Armed Forces. Following his training he joined the Topographical Survey of Mapping and Charting at 615 Booth Street. He retired from the military in 1986 and joined Energy Mines and Resources as a computer programmer/analyst. He retired from the federal government in 2002. The care given to Rolland by Dr. Mong, Dr. Flynn, Dr. Parsons and the kindest of nurses at the Elisabeth Bruyere Palliative Care Ward gave great comfort to him and to Moira, Avril and Bonnie who were by his side during his short stay at the hospital. Friends and family are invited to visit at the Kemptville Chapel of Hulse, Playfair & McGarry, 805 Prescott Street, Kemptville, on Monday June 12, 2017 from 2 to 4 p.m. and 6 to 8 p.m. A Funeral Service will be held in the Chapel on Tuesday at 11 a.m. followed by a reception. Donations to The Elisabeth Bruyere Palliative Care Ward would be appreciated.

To my dearest Moira whom I love without borders:
My sincere condolences for your husband. It's okay to feel and to express your feelings, so embrace the moment of spiritual grief and let the tears flow, as mourning is not passive, it is a very active process. The strongest people in life are the ones whose hope continues to persevere even through the worst of times. Life has its ups and downs, it never stays the same. It will get better so please be strong. Please do not build up walls, to keep others out who love you enough to care and want to help. To die for someone is easy, the real challenge is finding the courage to live for someone. We all die. The goal isn't to live forever, the goes is to create something that will, for those who passed away want us to live. Just remember to the well-organized mind, death is but the next great adventure. I can just hear Rolland saying, to my beautiful Wife who means the world to me and who I am so proud of Never should your heart feel lonely though I may seem far away. From a place up in the heavens I will be watching you every day. You are always my precious love, the joy eternal of my life. Let my presence bring you comfort should you ever battle strife. Know my spirit is within you - angels ready standing by - for every step you take tomorrow and for every breath you sigh. Soon before you even know it together in paradise we will be. Always well be with each other forever through eternity. So continue on your journey - enjoy your life along the way. And remember from the heavens I will be watching you every day. To my beautiful Wife please cry no more.
