Bruno Bourgon

Bruno will be lovingly remembered by his wife, Jeannine Bourgon (née Savard), and his children Marc Bourgon (Corinne), Lynn DeHaan (Ray), John Bourgon (Cathy), and Guy Bourgon. He will also be fondly remembered by his stepchildren, Pierre, Roger, Denise and Giselle as well as his many grandchildren and great-grandchildren, who will carry his memory in their hearts.

Bruno was predeceased by his beloved daughter, Claire Burelle, and his first wife, Yvette Bourgon (née St. Pierre). He was also predeceased by his parents, Elise (née Charlebois) and Samuel Bourgon, and by his 16 brothers and sisters.

Bruno was a lifelong employee of Domtar Fine Papers and was also a talented and hardworking self-employed handyman, putting his skills to work in many different fields throughout his life.

When he wasn't working, Bruno enjoyed the simple pleasures of life. One of his favourite pastimes was fishing for perch on the St. Lawrence River, where he spent many peaceful hours enjoying the outdoors.

Arrangements have been entrusted to Lahaie & Sullivan Cornwall Funeral Homes – East Branch, 613-933-2841. In keeping with Bruno's wishes, cremation has taken place. A memorial service will be held at a later date.

As expressions of sympathy, donations to the Canadian Cancer Society would be appreciated. Messages of condolences may be left at www.lahaiesullivan.ca.
