The daY that élise came to school after two weeks of not hearing from was one of the sadDest days I've EVER experienced. When Elise told me her father had passed away all I wanted to was hug her and cry for her. Me and my family's hearts go out to Elise and patty. - Posted by: Sadie Loughlin (Best friend) on: Jun 06, 2014

My darling you are and always be the love of my life. I never imagined that someone as wonderful as you came into my life. I hope you knew that you made me whole again and completed our family when we needed it the most. You instantly became a dad or pops as chris would say and when most men would have ran from two boys who needed a dad you embraced it and loved them and me with all your heart. Thank you for giving me a daughter later in our marriage, she reminds me everyday of you. Why God took you away from us I will never understand, we are so lost without you, you were my rock. I promise to cowboy up and try to go on living without you for our kids and grandkids but I died too on that day with you. Please watch over us and help me however you can so I know you are still with us. All my love till the end of time.....patti xoxoxo xox - Posted by: Patti (Love of my life) on: Dec 11, 2013

I knew Emile as a devoted Platelet Pheresis donor. Every second Saturday morning, he and Elise would arrive for his appointment, and spend an hour or more with us. Very dedicated donor, and of course, Father to Elise. Thanks to Emile for his committment to the platelet program and Elise for the art work that decorated our department. You will be missed. - Posted by: Karen Zurba (Former Canadian Blood Services Platelet Pheresis Nurse) on: Nov 26, 2013

I just started to get to know you over the last 6 months, I enjoyed working with you and I am going to miss it. You were a nice guy we saw eye to eye about our work and it made the work day enjoyable. The one thing I am going to miss the most is our coffee and lunch breaks when you talked about your family and how much you loved them. I hope one day I can be a father like you. We are all going to miss you at quality design inc. you could never be replaced in our installation team and in our hearts. I hope that cowboy hat looks as awesome on your head as it did when you were here with us on earth - Posted by: Travis Devisser (Co-worker ) on: Nov 25, 2013

Although I have not seen Emile since my father's funeral (Lucien Bourcier passed in 1991) I am deeply saddened with your loss.
