In 1960 Uncle Maurice put me behind the wheel of his big new Buick when I was only 14. Although I only knew him briefly he left me with vivid memories of knowing a kind, warm and trusting uncle who gave my family and I only kindness. - Posted by: Armand Mondor (nephew) on: Jan 07, 2013

Uncle Maurice was a very special person to me. I wish that we had lived closer to him so that I could have spent more time with him. In the short amount of time that we spent together I enjoyed his humour, counsel and warmth. My daughter, Colette will always remember our visit to Bernice and Maurice at their cottage. He really made an impression on her when he took her fishing at age 6 or so and she caught her first fish. - Posted by: Albert Mondor (Nephew) on: Jan 07, 2013
