Marcel grew up in Notre-Dame-de-Lourdes and it was at the tender age of 11 that he lost his mother. As a young man, he drove the transfer before eventually going to work in the family business, Notre Dame Motors, of which he became owner after his fathers death. With his wife Lorraine, he raised a large family and built his business to finally pass it on to his sons when he retired. He also left his mark in the town of Notre Dame: councillor in the first town council, on the manors and hospitals councils, first fire chief and member of the Knights of Columbus. His devotion to his community made itself known. He was an exceptional father and grandfather who passed on to his children and grandchildren the values of family unity, hard work and love. He loved being surrounded by his family and will always be its anchor. His presence, his strength and his unique sense of humour will certainly be missed. Cremation has taken place. Prayers will be held in Adams funeral chapel on Tuesday May 7, at 8:00 p.m. Religious services will be held in the Notre Dame Church on Wednesday May 8, at 2:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Notre Dame hospital.
