Rolland GRENON

GRENON, Rolland - The family announces with sorrow, his death in Orléans, Ontario on Monday January 5, 2009 at the age of 99. Son of the late Eugène Grenon and Diana Grenon (née Valin). Loving father of Guy, Louise, David (wife Betty) and Joseph. Predeceased by his loving spouse, Olive Grenon (née Fisher). Dear brother of Fleur- Ange Lemieux of Orléans. Predeceased by his brothers (Rev. Gaston OMI, Joseph, Ivan) and sisters (Giselle, Carmen, Margot). Sadly missed and lovingly remembered by his grandchildren, Derek (Caroline), Steven (Angela), Barry (Amber), Joël (Dave), Mark (Ivonne), Paula and Elizabeth and great grandchildren, Christopher, Jeremy, Matthew, Rebecca, Leah and Adam. Rolland, a native of Sudbury Ontario, operated a grocery store for most of his working life and later worked for several years at the General Hospital and Laurentian University. Dad lived a long life with charity, hard work, responsibility and joie de vivre. He was an avid card player that included bridge, cribbage and poker – he really really hated to lose at any of them. He made sure that we never wanted for anything while we were growing up, always had a smile and looked forward to seeing us, our mates, our children and our childrens' children. We love you and will miss you deeply! Aurevoir Papa. . .The family wishes to express their sincere thanks and gratitude to the staff of St-Louis Residence for the attentive care given to Dad where he resided since leaving, in 2001, Queensway Place, Espanola, Ontario.
