10787 Jean-Yves Lamarre, CMR RMC, Class of 1975
Jean-Yves Lamarre passed away suddenly on Tuesday, July 5, 2022, near his home on Clayton Lake at the age of 68. Beloved husband of Diane Mallette, father of Catherine, Anna (Jonathan Joynt), and Luc (Kayla), stepfather of Krista Walsh (Chris Reddie), and doting grandfather to Caileigh, Keagan, Elizabeth and Eleanor. Predeceased by his parents Gérard and Isabelle (Sigmen) Ducharme of Shawinigan.
A life-long aviation enthusiast, Jean-Yves proudly served in the RCAF as an aerospace engineer for 28 years before turning his focus to the private sector and the federal public service. After multiple attempts at retirement he finally was able to enjoy spending his time working on the cottage, boating, skidooing, and traveling.
Family and friends will miss his sense of humour, his willingness to help others, and his extensive collection of obsolete computer hardware. With the exception of his butterscotch sauce recipe, his cooking skills will sadly not be missed.
A graveside service in the National Military Cemetery was held on Wednesday July 20, 2022. In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate memorial donations to a charity of your choice.
Saddened to learn of the passing of Dennis McCarthy and Claude Archambault. At Roads and RMC with Dennis and worked with Claude at FMC HQ. Enjoyed the company of both.
Condolences to families, friends, and all whose hearts were touched by these two, and wishes for comfort and peace at this time and forward.
They shall not grow old as we that are left grow old.
Age shall not weary them, or the years condemn.
At the going doewn of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them.
