It is with great sadness that our family announces the passing of Paul M. Robichaud, 88, on Saturday February 11th, 2023 at the Dr. Georges-L.-Dumont UHC after a brief illness. Born in Saint-Charles, Paul was the son of the late Martin and Anna (Robichaud) Robichaud.
Prior to retirement, Paul was a merchant marine, having sailed to many places in the world. He enjoyed his work but preferred returning home to Grande-Aldouane to be with his family. Paul and his wife later moved to Moncton to be closer to their daughters and their families.
Paul is survived by his wife of 67 years, Rose (Rosie Poirier); his two daughters: Paulette (Ross Beach) and Gisèle (Marc Boudreau), all of Moncton; six grandchildren: Samantha Cornect (Jimmy) of Petitcodiac, Mathew Cornect (Marina) of Regina, Jonathan Cornect (Angela) of Moncton, Samuel Mazerolle of Québec, Philippe Mazerolle of Montréal, and Christine Tobin (Brian) of Riverview; six great-grandchildren: Jay, Avery and Samuel Patterson; Madelyn and Nathan Cornect; and Gage Cornect. Paul was pleased to know twin great-granddaughters were expected for this June; his precious little dog, Tiqua; as well as several sisters-in-law, brothers-in-law, nieces and nephews.
A special thank you to the staff of the Dr. Georges-L.-Dumont UHC for the wonderful care Paul received.
The family will receive condolences at Frenette Funeral and Cremation Centre, 88 Church Street, Moncton (506-858-1900) where the funeral service will be celebrated on Thursday February 23 at 3 pm. Visiting hours are Thursday from 1 pm until time of funeral. Interment will be in Frenette Columbarium. In memory of Paul, a contribution to the CHU Dumont Foundation would be appreciated.
