Time is always racing onward . Oftin consumed by the details of everyday living ,we oftin wish that we had more time to spend with the ones we care about . Those moments in time are what we have to remember our loved ones by , in passing. The wisdom they shared,and love they shown us as faimly . They live on in spirit through those good memories we hold dear in our hearts ,and minds .

Bless you both Cathy and Phill Gagnon.We will miss you ,and know you both are in a loving place . A place where they can be young again .

To the public at large he was known as Phil. But to me and a certain circle of his friends he was and always will be known as Dr. Bourre'. What a run we had over the last 45 years...the football games, the fine dining, the libations, the nightime holiday rides to check out Christmas decorations, evenings at the LPO, crawfish boils, card games, watching the Masters and other golf tournaments, the list goes on and on. To say he will be missed is an understatement. He will always occupy a very special place in my heart and I will think of him often as the great friend that he unfailingly was. Onward, now, to the next adventure.
