Moe, a very kind soul and a good friend, Moe and I worked together in transport and concrete, and shared many laughs, we spoke to one another everyday as he lent his ear to the passing of my wife. I will miss your texts in the morning Moe and all the help you gave me. You marched to the beat of your own drum, always speaking highly of your family and friends. You were one of the special ones Moe and I will miss you and the friendship we had. My thoughts go out to the families and his sons. Kevin Smith - Posted by: kevin smith (friend) on: Nov 12, 2013

To my dearest friend, You added so much to my life, starting 40 years ago, 20 years ago and again this summer. Garth Brooks' song "The Dance" says it all. We were able to dance again. I am grateful to have been a part of your journey. By being yourself, you put something wonderful in the world that was not there before. Forever in my heart, Louise - Posted by: Louise (Friend) on: Nov 11, 2013

It is with great regret that I hear of the passing of our cousin Moe...I'm truly sorry that I didn't follow my instinct to reconnect with him when the little voice in my head said to do so...I remember the good times we had when we'd visit as young kids (which was not often, but still). Memories are a great asset and I know you have lots of good ones...your Mom and mine... "ma tante 'Toinette"... were sisters Deepest sympathy to all the family...Viviane - Posted by: Viviane Walker (Ayotte) (cousin) on: Nov 11, 2013

My old friend Moe, we grew up together on the same street. We often crossed path in our lives and whenever we did, we just had the best laughs. You had such a talent to provide people with laughter. Will miss seeing you. Many of your old friends will. - Posted by: Beverley Bettens (Old Friend ) on: Nov 11, 2013

To my Big Brother Moe (big daddy) You have always been and will always be a part of my life. It started when I was born, with 7 years difference between us you had to babysit me and drag me around with you. This was ok till your were about 14 then it was not cool. We continued this big brother/friend relationship throughout our lives. The memories we shared like running off to Vancouver in the early 70’s for a few years (good times ) to your Big Daddy Rock and Roll shows back home, building your street rod (Falcon). Cruising to car shows, your photo studio where you took our wedding pictures when Diane and I got married. Then you became part of Diane’s and our children’s lives. Nikki and Terry called you the wacky uncle Moe. Diane and the kids got to share in their own special memories like the trip to New Orleans and Texas. There are many more memories that won’t be forgotten. Those who knew Moe or got to know the character we knew will miss him We have travelled many roads together through good and bad times. You will always be remembered and not forgotten in our lives Till we meet again, we love you Bro. - Posted by: Lou ,Diane,Nikki,Terry Asselin (brother,brother inlaw and uncle) on: Nov 10, 2013
