He loved golfing, boating, fishing, and was a master at gardening. He especially loved spending time with his family and friends. His vacation time was spent traveling the Caribbean, Florida, Europe and other parts of the world.

Besides his mother, he is survived by his wife of 41 years, Joceline née Doiron; two precious girls who made him very proud: Mélanie (Pierre Collette) of Dieppe, and Véronique of Montréal, QC; one sister, Jacqueline Maltais (Patrick) of Grand-Barachois; one brother, Jean-Paul (Andréa Vautour) of Dieppe; mother-in-law, Pauline Doiron of Moncton; a brother-in-law, Terry Doiron (Linda Matte); as well as several nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.
