He loved his home and took great pleasure in working in his garden and with his hands.
He was an adoring husband, wonderful uncle, good neighbour and friend and a loyal and devoted man. He loved his native Cape Breton Island and held a fierce pride in his French heritage.
Ambrose is survived by his wife of almost 40 years, Lillian (Walls), also formerly of Cape Breton.
Uncle Ambrose will also be sadly missed by many nieces, nephews and godchildren who saw a shy and warm-hearted gentle giant with a wonderful laugh. He saw only the best in all of us and made each and every one of us feel unique and special in his eyes.
Arrangements were under the supervision of the Ward Funeral Home, 2035 Weston Rd. with visitations held in the afternoon and evening of Friday, June 16, 2000. Funeral services were held on Saturday, June 17, 2000, at 1 p.m. in the Ward Chapel.
Relatives and friends from all through the years came to show their love and respect and it was a great source of strength and comfort for Ambrose’s family. Cremation took place immediately following the services and Ambrose will be laid to rest at a later date on Cape Breton Island at his request.
In memory of Ambrose, donations may be made to the charity of your choice.
