Il laisse aussi dans le deuil ses enfants, petits-enfants, arrière petits-enfants, frère et soeurs, beaux-frères et belles-soeurs ainsi que de nombreux neveux et nièces.
Ayant vécu sur la ferme et au village toute sa vie, il l'a dédié à sa famille. Toujours prêt à aider un membre de la famille ou un voisin, il était respecté de tous. Réservé et conservateur, il aimait bien une bonne discussion parfois avec un ton élevé. Les yeux de Grand-père se mettait toujours à pétiller lorsque qu'il recevait la visite des enfants petits ou grands. Il n'était jamais trop occupé pour écouter ou jouer avec ses petits enfants et arrière petits-enfants et les taquiner un peu.
Nous t'aimons et tu nous manqueras même si nous savons que tu seras toujours avec nous.
Merci au personnel du Centre de Santé et particulièrement au personnel du Foyer qui lui ont donné des soins exceptionnels au cours des dernières années.
En signe de reconnaissance, des dons au Foyer Notre-Dame seraient appréciés.
