Il était un homme vaillant avec une passion incomparable pour la vie, homme fier de sa langue, sa culture et de son village. Nous citons un extrait de son écrit dans le livre de la famille Tétrault en 1995 " J'ai toujours aimé mon épouse, mes enfants, mes petits enfants, mes parents, mes amis, mes employés, J'ai aimé les sorties, les soirées, les voyages, le sport. J'aime mon prêtre, ma paroisse, mon village, c'est la que j'ai eu mes joies, mes peines, mes épreuves, mes rêves, mes succès, mes plaisirs, et c'est à l'ombre de cette belle église que je désire dormir mon dernier sommeil.

Upon retirement and because of his love of nature, he created Beau Sapin Ltd., a land development company in Marchand and also contributed greatly to the Marchand West development. Gérard was recipient of the `Pionnier en entrepreneurship', a prestigious award given to francophone entrepreneurs. He had a love for sports, especially hockey. He was an original member of the first La Broquerie Senior hockey team, an exceptional player, coach, manager and an even more devout fan of the La Broquerie Habs. Gérard was founding member of the construction committee of the first arena and donated countless hours to the task. He was also president of the Centennial Arena construction committee and also a valuable contributor to La Broquerie's third arena.

He enjoyed volunteering with the RCMP, as well as delivering Christmas hampers for the Christmas Cheer Board. In 1988 he received `The Government of Canada Certificate of Merit' for outstanding contribution to his community. He was a devout family man, proud of his community, always ready to help with many projects, a man of faith, generous, hardworking, and an individual with a contagious zest for life. He was proud of his heritage, his culture and his hometown. We cite an excerpt from a text he wrote in the Tétrault Family book, "I've always loved my wife, my children, my grandchildren, my parents, my friends, my employees; I love outings, social events, traveling, and sports. I love my parish priest, and my community, where I've experienced joy, sorrow, challenges, fulfillment of dreams, successes, happiness, and it is in the shadow of our beautiful church that I wish to have my eternal sleep".
