He was a valedictorian of his senior year, a graduate of the University of Ottawa and taught for over thirty years until his retirement from SIAST in adult education. Over the years, Marcel and his family lived in a number of communities in Saskatchewan, but in the end his heart was in the north where he spend his retirement years summering at McPhee Lake where he managed a campground. In the winter, Marcel loved to explore the south, and boon docking his way to Mexico and back with his van and trailer. He loved the people and culture he found along the way and enjoyed sharing adventures with friends and family who happened to tag along with him. But like the ducks and geese, Marcel always came back north in the spring. Marcel was a warm, caring and generous man with a heart as big as his family. The world is a better place for having had him. Goodbye, Pepere, we will miss you.
