It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Francois, aged 71. He died suddenly from a heart attack on May 14. He emanated love and joy and his generous heart lifted the spirits of all he met. He loved life, he loved his family, he loved his career in the Federal Court of Canada, he loved reading and playing bridge, bowling and golfing. He was the son of the late Charlemagne and Victoria (Senecal) Pilon. He had a happy childhood growing up on their farm in Treadwell, Ontario with his twin brother as his constant companion. He is survived by his loving wife of 42 years Kathy (Sibley), his children Eric and Sara (Rory) Crawford, brother Gaetan, sisters Odette and Charlotte (Gordon) Kerlucke, his sister and brother in law Margaret and Larry Sibley.
Sara is going to host an informal celebration of Francois’ life at their home (16 Erskine St., Dartmouth) on Sunday May 20, starting at 2 p.m. All who would like to join us are welcome to drop by anytime that afternoon. Burial of his ashes will take place at a later date in Beach Meadows Cemetery.
