So sorry to hear of your dads passing! He is a wonderful part of my childhood memories of Algonquin Street. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.
Jan’s and Jean’s dad was Awesome. He will be Greatly missed. We had a Great time when he was selling his house on Algonquin St. he had a yard sale and he found a Gas mask from WW2 and a Landing strip for planes I told him not to get rid of the landing strip because planes were FALLING FROM THE SKY he looked at Janice and of course Janice won he got rid of it. He loved cribbage and enjoyed coming to the campsite to play. He loved Foxwoods and Bingo and a little gambling. He was one of a kind. He will be missed. May you find Peace.
We were so sorry to hear of your Dads passing. My father Armand Belanger and he were really close friends through tour years. They worked together on the Brockton trash removal service when they first met. Through the years they had gone to the casinos together but most often I would see them play Chess for hours at a time at my kitchen table growing up. Many times I would kiss him goodnight when I went to bed after watching them hassle each other playing chess and find them both there again the next morning still playing chess! He was a great friend of my fathers. When my annual Christmas card came back and we couldn’t contact him by phone, we looked up his obituary. My Dad, cried and was very sad he didn’t go to his funeral. Please know that Armand Belanger and his family are very sad over his passing and want you to known what a great friend he was for my Dad through many years. ❤️
