It’s with great sadness that we announce the passing of our father and husband; Tilly, Elie Hébert on, Saturday, May 18, 2019 after a long hard fought battle with cancer.

He leaves behind his wife of 53 years, Jeannette, his favorite daughter, Liette and son Serge. Serge’s wife April, two grandsons, Matthew and Jack. And two very special people Ginette and Christopher, who along with his wife and kids were an important part of his family. He was the eldest and leader of the Hébert clan survived by his brothers, Paul, Donald and Ronald (Joe) and by « the sisters », Corinne, Jeanita, Janet, Lucille and Rachel.

Tilly was preceded by his mother and father, Emile and Sadie (Bourgeois) Hébert.

Tilly led a quiet yet extraordinaire life, he was a key player in the foundation of Lewisville Minor Hockey and of Oldtimer Hockey in Moncton.

A fierce opponent on the ice, off the ice he was generous and kind to all he met. He leaves behind hundreds of stories of generosity and good deeds.

His laughter and million dollar smile will be missed by all who knew him.

Jeannette, Liette & Serge would like to thank their amazing families, the Hebert’s and DesRoches’ for their love and support.
