He loved spending time with his four children and nine beloved grandchildren. Lucien enjoyed the outdoors and time spent at his cottage with family in Shoal Lake Ontario. He was handy and took interest in designing and building his cabin, various other projects around his home, as well as helping many others with his engineering skills and talents. He was one of the founders of Gateway Community Club. Lucien had strong spiritual faith and was a devout Catholic attending Holy Redeemer Parish for 46 years. He served as a lifetime member of the Knights of Columbus, participated in the building, fundraising, and finance committee, and as a lector in church. Lucien's family would like to thank Concordia Hospital, Oncology, and the Palliative Care Program for their unwavering support and care. He was dearly loved and will be missed.
