EULOGY: OWEN E. TETREAULT

Owen, we have opened the doors wide and welcome you back into our
world. We love you as a brother and
a friend. We will miss you.

Owen along with Sis and I were born on a farm on the side of the
mountain over looking East Richford
and the Missisquoi River looking into
Canada. Curley was born later in the
village. He was the lucky one. This
was the time of the great depression.
We grew up without electricity, indoor plumbing or an ice box. We had a wood stove for heat and cooking. In the village we all attended a one room school house.

We grew up with basically nothing
but the love and values obtained from our parents and our own personal dreams.

During World War II, Owen proudly
joined the Marine Corp and served in
the Pacific Theater on the Island of
Samoa.

On his last visit home I had the opportunity to question him about the war. I was very proud of my brother and was going to join the Marines myself. However, he talked me into the Air Force, which I thank
him for today.

Owen was blessed with many talents, carpenter, mechanical engineer and sales. He was a great sales person. He was honest, sincere
and always had a great story to tell
in a way that the customers would
enjoy. After that getting the order
was easy.

Owen, I am proud to have you as a
brother. God Bless You!

I would like to thank Barbara for taking such good care of you.

I'm sorry sorry for your lost. he is home now, no more suffering and no more pain. Owen was a very kind person. When I use to clean the house in Northbridge for him I would tell him he cleaned the house before I came, he would just smile.
