To all of the Demers family: I am very saddened for your loss. He was such a good man and raised a lot of wonderful children with his very dedicated wife. I particularly enjoyed his tremendous wit. He was a great kidder! I know that he was proud of how well you all keep the family business going strong year after year. He will be missed but certainly not forgotten. I know that what he wanted most was to keep the family together. I know that you will do that.
