Noël "Pee Wee" Allain, 101, of Moncton, passed away peacefully surrounded by his family on Monday February 23, 2026 at the Villa du Repos. Born in Bouctouche, he was the son of the late Jim and Régina (Poirier) Allain.

Prior to his retirement, Noël worked for 36 years with CN and Via Rail in the dining car as a chef and waiter. He was a member of St. Lawrence O’Toole R.C. church in Irishtown. In his younger years, he loved horses and was an avid fan of harness racing. He always kept busy working on projects for his property. He was always smiling and loved spending time with family, especially his grandchildren whom he adored.

He will be greatly missed by his four children: Noëlla Després (Jean-Paul), Estelle Allain, Rosemay Allain (Jack Didychuk) and Edgar (Lisa Rideout), all of Moncton; six grandchildren: Michel (Toni), Lynne (Ricky), Ginette (Dean), Lisa (Peter), Ashley (Josh), and Jason;  ten great-grandchildren: Alexandre (Sam), Emma (Kayla), Jérémie, Justin (Abbie), Grace, Julie, Ryan, Anna, Benjamin, and Victoria; one sister, Gloria MacMillan (late Eddie) of Acton, ON; as well as his nieces and nephews.

Besides his parents, he was predeceased by his wife, Laura Chase (1997); five sisters: Emma, Doris, Mae, Julia, and Alvina; and eight brothers: Adelard, Willie, Thaddée, Eddé, Normand, Alyre, Aquila, and Élie.
