LOUIS LA ROCQUE

Condolences & Memories (6 entries)

• Mon Ami Louis, Louis and I crossed paths 20 years ago when we joined the same cycling club, Spinners. What an incredible ride we had getting to know one another over the years. We joined many great club rides; they gave us the opportunity to talk often and develop a close bond. Saturday morning coffee soon became a tradition we both looked forward to. Louis shared many of his life experiences with me, such as snowmobiling in our Winnipeg winters, when he would get home from work and his beautiful wife Jeanne would have the kids ready, packed up and eager to hit -the road for their camping trips. During conversations about his family and their adventurous trips, his face would light up with enjoyment. When he found out my son-in-law works for the railway, he became excited, and more stories soon followed about Louis’ life on the rails. My great friend had a passion for cooking, and he was an incredible chef. Preparing a meal was quite the event; Louis would spend the day making sure all the ingredients were chopped, measured and ready; the following day was exclusively for cooking. We would always laugh when the stories would surface about our younger days and afterwards, we would wonder how we never crossed paths back then. We lived around the corner from one another, knew the same people, and of all the popular hangouts. Maybe it was a good thing we met later in life, my great friend. Even though I am 5 years younger, I can only imagine the havoc we would have wreaked. Rest in peace tou jour, Norman - Posted by: Norman Hebert (Friend) on: Mar 21, 2023
