Dad was born in St. Claude on July 8, 1934. He owned the Locker Plant until his retirement in 1984. He was involved in the community as a volunteer firefighter and member of Lions Club. He loved fishing, picking berries, playing cards and travelling. His garden was impressive and he put a lot of love and care into his tomato plants.

Dad a pleinement vécu sa vie au Lot, les veilles de jour de l'an, à la pêche, en voyage au Mexique, en Floride et à Vegas entre autres.
The family would sincerely like to thank Dr. Daeninck, the staff at CancerCare and the palliative care nurses who supported him throughout his illness.
