Obituary for / Nécrologie pour Claude Demeules
Nous regrettons de vous annoncer le décès de Claude Demeules à l'âge de 83 ans, le mardi 13 octobre 2020, au Foyer Extendicare Kapuskasing. Il était un pompier volontaire avec le Service d’incendie de Smooth Rock Falls pendant plus de 30 ans, étant le Chef pompier pendant les derniers 20 ans. Comme passe-temps, Claude aimait entraîner les équipes de hockey mineur, ainsi que faire de la pêche. Il était amateur de tous les sports, et aimait jouer le hockey, le curling et le golf. Dans ses dernières années, sa plus grande joie était ses petits-enfants – passer du temps avec eux, c’était de l’or pour lui.
Il laisse pour pleurer sa perte son épouse, Réjeanne; ses quatre enfants : Carole Demeules d'Ottawa, Judith Therrien (Yvan) de Hearst, Gerald (Aline) de Kapuskasing, et Michel (Céline) d'Orillia; neuf petits-enfants : Michèle, Laura, Richard, Clara, Alexander, Neva, Danielle, Owen, et Kevin; ses frères et sa sœur : Madeleine Picard (Gilles) de Kapuskasing, Raymond (Dale) de Calgary, et Maurice (Yvonette) de Smooth Rock Falls; sa chienne bien-aimée, Molly; ainsi que plusieurs neveux et nièces. Il fut prédécédé par ses parents, Wilfrid et Gertrude; et une sœur, Estelle Amyote.
Une Célébration Eucharistique privé a eu lieu et une célébration publique de sa vie aura lieu à une date ultérieure. Comme témoignage de sympathie, la famille sera reconnaissante des dons à la Société d’Alzheimer. ©
We regret to announce the death of Claude Demeules at the age of 83 years, on October 13, 2020, at Extendicare Kapuskasing. He was a volunteer firefighter with the Smooth Rock Falls Fire Department for 30 years and was the Fire Chief for the last 20 years of his career. In his spare time, Claude enjoyed coaching minor hockey, as well as fishing. He was a big sports fan who particularly enjoyed playing hockey, curling and golf. In his last years, his greatest joy was his grandchildren – spending time with them was like gold for him.
He will be greatly missed by his wife, Réjeanne; his four children: Carole Demeules of Ottawa, Judith Therrien (Yvan) of Hearst, Gerald (Aline) of Kapuskasing, and Michel (Céline) of Orillia; nine grandchildren: Michèle, Laura, Richard, Clara, Alexander, Neva, Danielle, Owen, and Kevin; his siblings: Madeleine Picard (Gilles) of Kapuskasing, Raymond (Dale) of Calgary, and Maurice (Yvonette) of Smooth Rock Falls; his beloved dog, Molly; as well as many nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his parents, Wilfrid and Gertrude; and one sister, Estelle Amyote.
A private family funeral was held and a public celebration of life will be held at a later date. As expressions of sympathy, donations to the Alzheimer Society would be greatly appreciated. ©
