Charles Romeo DeCaen, age 89, was called to Heaven on September 1st, 2018. Charles was born on August 5th, 1929 at a charming seaside town of Paspébiac, Quebec, Canada, on the Bay de Chaleur, on the Gaspé Peninsula, to his parents Charles and Alice DeCaen.

Charles was the first child of many. At the age of approximately 3 years old they moved to Ontario, Canada. He then completed his formal education in upstate New York and moved to Montreal, Quebec, Canada and married his beloved wife Gloria on November

Charles's favorite verses from the Bible: John 14-2// Matt 6-33// John 14-2; In my Father's house are many mansions. If it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you

Matt 6-33; But seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and his righteousnous; and all these things shall be added unto you.
