He leaves to cherish his memory, his wife Margaret; children Paul, Cecile (Randy) Park, Leona, Ron, Roger, Kelly (Maryann); sister Lillian (Arthur) Hunchak, and numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Mr. Chagnon's love for his wife "Chew" and his family were immeasurable. He could make me smile with one of his quick witted remarks even on one of my worst days. He treated me like family and always liked to tease! I will always remember His kind heart and gentle soul which can never be replaced and he will be missed. Maggie, My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this difficult time, may god bless you and give you strength. love Mary - Posted by: mary schwolman (family frienf) on: Apr 23, 2013
