TURCOTTE, Eugene
The family of the late Eugene Turcotte wish to thank everyone for the many acts of kindness during the recent loss of a much loved father, grandfather, and friend. For the cards, donations to the Food Bank, Masses, and for the gift of your time to come to his wake, funeral, and luncheon afterwards, thank you very much. We appreciated all the stories you shared with us about Dad and in time hope to hear more. Thank you Dr. Colin Macpherson, and Pamela Bart, NP, for your care for Dad over the years and recent months. To the staff at Heritage Manor including kitchen staff and housekeeping who made Dad feel at home and more importantly, as dad said, "like the King of Iran", thank you so much. We owe a lot of gratitude to the many Bayshore PSW's who cared for Dad every day he lived there. Many of you went above and beyond with your level of care and compassion, and you became very special people to Dad. He often said he was blessed to have met you, and thank you for saying you felt just as blessed in return. To Dad's palliative nurses and team, especially Pam Dayment, we appreciate the support and care given each and every day. Thank you Deacon Adrien Chaput, Father Peter Proulx, and Father Grant Neville for praying with us at the funeral home. To Father Peter Proulx, and Father Bill Kenney for the heartfelt funeral Mass, and especially Father Proulx for all your visits, chats with Dad, and adminstering of the Holy Sacraments, thank you ever so much as they were a great comfort to him. Thank you to Dad's pallbearers, special friends Ken Carswell and Nathan Watson, son-in-law Dave, and grandsons, Joel, Colin and Thomas. To Chris Neville, Paul, Lorne, and Jack at the Neville Funeral Home, thank you for your dignified care and compassion. We also want to thank Father Bill Kenney and the Our Lady of Lourdes funeral team for the luncheon served afterwards in the parish hall. We truly appreciate all that was done for Dad, and for ourselves during this difficult time. Dad lived a long and adventurous life, and we will do our best to remember all those incredible stories of a life well-lived. His faith was unwavering, and now may he enjoy eternal salvation reunited with Mom in God's heavenly kingdom. Bless you all - thank you.
