He will be sadly missed by his wife of 59 years, Roberte Girouard Doucette; two sons: Rick (Lynda) of Moncton, and Paul (Lillianne) of Notre-Dame; four grandchildren of whom he was very proud: Lisa (Jason), whom he raised and considered his own, Tina, Chris, and Chad; five great-grandchildren: Daniel, Felix, Isabelle, Janelle, and Olivia; one brother, Cyril (Betty) of Moncton; one sister, Patricia Williams (Allison) of Springhill, P.E.I.; his godson, Mike, his goddaughter, Dianne and one sister-in-law, Thérèse Doucette of Tignish, P.E.I.

Besides his parents, he was predeceased by his 18-month old daughter, Lisa; two brothers: Paul and Nelson; two sisters: Olive Desroches and Thérèse Boucher.
