GABRIEL ST. ONGE (1919 - 2002) It is with sadness we announce the passing of my husband, our father, grandfather and great-grandfather. He leaves to mourn his loving wife Flore (nee Lapointe) of 57 years; his children, Lucille (Larry) Desrochers, Claudette (Eddy) Vermette, Denise (Ray) Burnell, Raymond (Annette Belisle), Marielle (Mitch) Cloutier, Julien (Judy Anderson), Valerie (Guy) Sylvestre, Patricia Perreault (Blair Drabik), Doreen; his brothers, Gerard (Claudette) and Paul (Jeanne). Gabriel was predeceased by a granddaughter Janelle and great-grandson Quintin. He will be remembered for his passion of playing the fiddle. He was a handyman who enjoyed helping everyone. He was a devoted parishioner at the Precieux-Sang Parish. In spite of his health he lived his life with dignity and determination.
