• My sincere condolences to Shirley, Albert, Reg and family. I have enjoyed many conversations with Aurele over the years, as well as assisting him in serving many bereaved families. He had a terrific sense of humor, but when it came to work, he was always there for the bereaved. Always paying attention to the smallest of details, and the importance of the memory that would be left. Thank you Aurele! Rest in peace my friend, you have left a wonderful legacy of care and compassion. They say, "You are what you do", and Aurele was a caregiver. - Posted by: Lee Barringer (Colleague) on: Sep 22, 2020

• It is with very great sadness that I learn of Aurele's passing. I have always admired his entrepreneurial abilities, his business acumen and his gift for relating to people in positive and uplifting ways. Most of all, I have enjoyed all those times we shared discussing and enjoying each other's company in laughter and in seriousness along with his best friends, Shirley and Reg. To you both, my deepest condolences for your loss, and I wish you courage and faith in these times. May he rest in peace. Maurice Smith - Posted by: Maurice Smith (long time friend) on: Sep 11, 2020

• LECLAIRE BROTHERS was the Funeral Home chosen by our family when my sister Rita passed (Feb. 1999). The family was so impressed by Aurèle's compassion, attention and service that we returned to him for my father Adélard's funeral in August 1999, brother-in-law Claude's service (Dec. 2000), mother Antoinette's funeral (Dec. 2013), and brother-in-law Clément's funeral in 2019. In March this year, my wife chose Aurèle to look after her aunt Yvonne's funeral. Through all these encounters Aurèle and more recently Shirley have offered kindness, comfort, support and healing humour. We have lost a wonderful caregiver for times of stress and grief. Sincere condolences to Shirley and the LeClaire family. René Perreault and Diane Sabourin - Posted by: Rene Perreault (Client) on: Aug 28, 2020

• My sincere condolences to Shirley and the Leclaire family. Through the Funeral industry I had the pleasure of meeting and at times assisting Aurele (and Shirley) with funeral services over the last 8 years. While I witnessed his professionalism and compassion I also witnessed his wit and sense of humour (which he could turn on/off at the appropriate times). It is an honour to call him a friend! Rest In Peace Aurele! - Posted by: Neil Avery (Friend) on: Aug 24, 2020

• My sincere condolences to you and your family Shirley. I looked at the LeClaire name as I know some of the family in Ile des Chenes, and I was surprised to see your name, Linda, Debi (RIP) and your mom Stella as I was reading about your wonderful husband Aurele. I think of you and your family often, and always wondered how you all have been doing over the years. I am so very sorry for your loss.

• Fond memories of our much loved landlord Aurele from when I lived in “the block” on Carriere Ave. Aurele turned our 15 apartments into a family watching out for one another. He was always a delight and a friend to each of us. I’m so sad to hear of Aurele’s passing and extend heartfelt condolences to you Shirley and to all of Aurele’s family. Rest in God’s peace Aurele. - Posted by: Wanda Brockie (Friend) on: Aug 22, 2020

• My husband Louis passed away in 2004, and had the honor of being served by the LeClaire Brothers. Compassion was #1 for them, I was very impressed by their professionalism also. When my sister in law Irène Gareau passed away, I suggested my brother in law to go and see the LeClaire Brothers (I went with him) and he was also very satisfied. All I can say is my condolences to the family and hope they are able to continue on. MERCI BEAUCOUP. - Posted by: denise gareau (client of LeClaire Brothers) on: Aug 22, 2020
