Adrien Roland Tremblay
1932-2019
Adrien Roland Tremblay was born on July 25th, 1932 to Cyrille and Alexina Harvey in Alma, Lac-St-Jean. He was one of 10 brothers and sisters: Fernand, Paul, Lucien, Ovila, Rene, Gisele, Adrien, Olivette, Claude & Nicol.
Although, the family was a large one of modest means, Adrien had an adventurous spirit. When he was young, he joined three of his friends on a road trip that started in Lac-St-Jean and followed the entire coast line to Mexico and back. Their trip turned out to be legendary, as they were the first group to ever make the trip in a Chevrolet of that particular year and model.
The further south they drove, the more that the newspapers began to pick up the story of these boys. Soon there were people lining the streets, cheering for them as they drove into new towns! Our father was so modest and did not boast of his adventures, but the few times that he would tell the story, his face would light up and his eyes would sparkle!
He married Susan Tremblay (ne Jolin) in 1970 and together, they had two children, Steven Tremblay of Eastmain, QC and Luci Tremblay Duncan of San Diego, CA.
Adrien is also survived by his beloved granddaughters, Lola and Elise Duncan.
Our father never liked confrontation; he preferred people talking gently to each other. He was compassionate to the needs of others and always put himself last.
He believed that life was for the living, not for those departed and wanted everyone to love every moment.
He was quiet and respectful of everyone’s privacy.
He liked the simple things in life; being with people he loved was most important. He kept no grudges.
He understood that mistakes were just that…mistakes; nothing that should be judged.
