Gilles Rouleau

Obituary of Gilles Rouleau

Né à Magog, Québec

11 juin 1938 - 22 mars 2022

La famille de Gilles Rouleau de Fort Erie est attristée d'annoncer son décès le 22 mars 2022, à l'âge de 83 ans.

Il laissera dans le souvenir de ses enfants Nelson (Pierrette) et Marc (Simone); ses six petits-enfants : Michel (Cassandra), Nathalie (Kyle), Daniel (Tabitha), Mélyse (Sean), Jacob (Emilie) et Samuel; neuf arrière-petits-enfants Alex, Sofie, Lincoln, Benjamin, Charlotte, Chase, Owen, Auli et Bauer; soeur Rollande Buote (Len), ainsi que d'autres membres de la famille et amis.

Il a été précédé par ses parents bien-aimés, Lilliane et Joseph, et sa soeur Gilberte Rouleau.

Certains se souviendront de Gilles pour ses 40 années passées chez Atlas Steel. D'autres se souviendront de lui pour son amour de ses petits-enfants et arrière-petits-enfants, ses talents de menuisier et sa relation amour/haine avec ses Canadiens de Montréal et les Cowboys de Dallas. Il avait une forte affection pour une bière fraîche, du Riesling et du sirop d'érable. Il aimait aussi les chiens, les chevaux et les oiseaux (pas les écureuils).

Gilles était fier des réalisations de sa famille et attendait toujours avec impatience les visites familiales. Michel se souviendra d'avoir été là pour son grand-père chaque fois que Pierrette et Nelson sortaient de la ville.

La famille tient à remercier tout particulièrement les premiers intervenants et le personnel du service d'urgence de l'Hôpital général du Grand Niagara pour leurs soins et leur compassion.
