NOËL CLEMENT JOSEPH TOUROND Dec. 25, 1945 - April 10, 2003 It is with great sorrow and sadness that we announce the sudden passing of our dear son, husband, father, grandfather and brother, Noël. Noël was predeceased by his sister Rita; first wife Olga (nee Mydaniuk); and father Leo Tourond. He is survived by his beloved wife, Rose; and children, Eva and Loyd; his grandson Bailey and mother Adrianne. He also leaves to mourn his brothers, George, Raymond, Eugene, Phil, Bruce; and sisters, Lorraine, Eleanor, Irene, May, Edith, Joyce and Stella, and all their spouses. He will also be greatly missed by his nieces and nephews, and countless friends. Noël loved the outdoors. He enjoyed going on hunting trips up north with his neighbor and friend, Dave, and always had many stories to tell when he returned. He loved working in his garage and being in the bush, cutting wood. He worked very hard all his life, but still found time to pick wildflowers for Rose on the way home. He would often be heard bragging about his grandson Bailey. He loved him very much and Bailey enjoyed spending time with Grandpa, in his garage. His family was very important to him, and everyone will feel a great loss without him. Noël was a special man. He was committed to following the Lord and planned to serve Him through helping those in need. Countless nights were spent helping people with their vehicles, or whatever they might have needed. He never seemed to mind, no matter how tired he was, and welcomed everyone with open arms. Noël had a gift of finding the good side of everything and was wonderful to be around. It is with great sorrow that we let him go, but find peace in the knowledge that he's safe in the arms of Jesus. -Love, his family A devotional was held Tuesday, April 15, 2003, 7 to 8 p.m., at the Marchand Chapel.
