Maurice immigrated to Canada in 1969 with aspirations & dreams of a better life for himself and his

family. His first job was working for a company called Consolidated FastFreight where he quickly

rose to the ranks of Freight and Shipping Supervisor. He was a natural leader. He had a passion for

supporting his fellow workers and was motivated to make his workplace a better place for all. He

was soon appointed as a Union Lead to advocate on behalf of his fellow union members. His

integrity, self-awareness, courage, respect, empathy, and gratitude made him a great motivator and

leader. He fought to ensure his organization offered fair wages, benefits, and, better working

conditions for all members within his organization.

Maurice loved his family deeply. He was determined to see his family united, showing love for one

another. He had the special ability to unite people from all different backgrounds, and walks of life;

always determined, he made things happen. It was incredible to see how boundless his reach was,

and for his efforts, we all appreciate what family truly means.

Maurice was loved, and all that knew him, knew he loved us too. The love he spread on this earth

continues to grow and will live on. This is the ultimate measure of any human being and by this

measure, he was immeasurable. Maurice left an impact on every person he met. To say he will be

missed is an understatement. We all love you, Maurice, 'Dad'. Now and forevermore.

Till we meet again.
