It breaks my heart to be writing here. I hope Mom welcomed you with open arms. I already miss you . I am who I am because of you; unions, picket lines, being involved. helping others . I am sorry it took me so long to realize my Dad is the standard by which I judge all men. Thank you for giving Brandon a role model , you helped him a lot and though he would never say it he loves you too. Thank you for loving me. I know it was not always easy, but you never gave up on me. I'm so grateful I followed you and Mom to Fl (even though we were 1st) . Polar bear swims, our walks on the beach, Mom always sending you to come to my rescue. Thank you for showing me what love is. You and Mom were amazing the way you cared for each other all the while bickering and bantering . I definitely inherited that trait. I love you so much, I hope you knew how much. Go with God Dad I'll be seeing you <3
All my love , forever and ever , Janice
It was truly my blessing to have known you. You had such a wonderful and bright smile. May you rest in peace and be joined with your wife Alice. My deepest sympathies go out to all of the Bourbonniere family at this time. May you find peace in knowing that your mom and dad are together again. Much love.
You are so very missed by everyone who loved you.
You were the best Uncle. We will never forget how you helped all of us growing up. Thoughts and prayers to the family .
You are so missed already.
Love, Elaine
