It is with profound sadness that the family of Gilles Joseph Larochelle announce his passing on Wednesday, April 5, 2023 at the age of 75. At the time of his passing, he was surrounded by his children, the love of his family and the incredibly compassionate staff at Providence Care Hospital. He will always be lovingly remembered and missed by his son Glen, daughter Aline, and grandson Brooks. Dear brother of Jean Guy Larochelle (Lorraine), Dorothy (Jean-Jaques), Micheline (Gilles), and Lyne (Louis), uncle of many nieces and nephews. Predeceased by his parents Arthur and Aline Larochelle.
Tenderly known as ‘Papa’ by his children and grandchild, Gilles was a kind, brave, quiet, hardworking, independent, easygoing, humble and courageous man who inspired those around him to face life’s challenges with vehemence and strength.
A visitation to be held at Wartman Funeral Home, Napanee on Saturday, April 15th from 2-4pm.
If desired, donations to Canadian Cancer Society or to the Mental Health Association in memory of Gilles would be appreciated. Condolences and donations may be forwarded online through www.wartmanfuneralhomes.com
