So sorry to hear about Marcel. What a good long life he enjoyed. Many cannot say the same. He was one of those especially strong. Ps. 90:10

I was sorry to see the passing of Marcel. Marcel was on my bowling team the first year I played and was always there to help with words of encouragement. I also noticed that Marcel served our country proudly and was a Purple Heart Recipient in the D-Day invasion. RIP Marcel and thank you for your service!

Uncle Marcel will always be remembered for his wonderful smile and sense of humor. The fact that he made it to my mother's funeral, at the age of 90, speaks volumes for the generous and kind man he was. There is great comfort in knowing he is reunited with his late wife, brothers, sisters and parents. Rest in peace.

Uncle Marcel:
Although we haven't seen you for several years since Aunt Terry died, you were always very nice. Unfortunately we heard of your passing to late to make arrangement's with work to attend your services; would have like to have gone to pay our respect.
How fitting to be a war hero/vet and to be laid to rest on Pearl Harbor Day. Thank you for your service to this country.
You are home with our Lord with no more pain, suffering, disappointments, worries, anxiety, etc. Rest in His arms, peacefully. We will have a mass said for you at our parish.

Uncle Marcel,
We will cherish the times we had together and will always remember the visits when we returned to Rhode Island. You may be gone but will never be forgotten.

Uncle Marcel,
We will always have fond memories of you, Aunt Jeanne and Dad [Charlie] coming to our house for Holiday dinners over the years. We had great times and we miss those days.
Rest in peace.

I was lucky to have Marcel as my neighbor for 52 years. He was a very special man with a big heart and a warm smile.
When my three children were growing up, he always welcomed them when they delivered his newspapers, and took the time to talk to them and give them praise and encouragement on their accomplishments.
I will miss you dearly, Marcel. You were one of a kind. A truly good man.
