Together with his brothers, Gilbert and Victor he owned and operated a successful dairy farm until 1988. His dreams for his future began to unfold and over the years he built what he called his own little paradise on earth, where he enjoyed taking long walks in the trails, quading with his precious grandchildren and enjoying nature. Everyone that knew him knew that there was perfection in everything he did. Our lives have been so richly blessed for the time that we have had with him. His dreams and his memory will forever live on in his family. What a blessing it is when God takes us when we can't take it any more. Til' we meet again my love.
