GILLES JOSEPH VERMETTE January 13, 1946 - February 6, 2013 It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Gilles Vermette on Wednesday, February 6, 2013 at the age of 67. He will be lovingly remembered and missed by Monica Gillings (his significant other), his son Réjean Vermette (his mother, Simone Morin), and Jennie Williams (Colin) (who he helped raise); sisters and brothers Freda (Victor), Bernard (Beatrice), Eugene (Noelline), Roger (Jaqueline), Yves (Louise), Suzanne (Derek), Fleurette (Dan), Robert (Misty), as well his stepchildren John (Christie), Edward (Robyn), Theresa (Bill) and their families, as well many nieces, nephews and friends, along with 17 grandchildren. Gilles was predeceased by his parents Alfred and Clarisse (née Richard) and baby brother Jean and brother Jean-Paul. Gilles grew up in Richer and was well known in the surrounding areas for his skills as a back-hoe operator, involvement in the community such as Minor Hockey and Curling. His big heart led him in later years to be involved with being a foster parent to five children who have grown to love him and cherish him. We all have great memories and will miss his one of a kind humour. A celebration of life will take place at Ste-Anne Catholic Church on Friday, February 15, 2013 at 1:00 p.m. Arrangements by BIRCHWOOD FUNERAL CHAPEL 1-204-346-1030 OR 1-888-454-1030
