VAILLANCOURT, Charles
1941-2020
Sadly on
December 22nd, succumbed to complications related to COPD
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.
He leaves behind his
partner and caregiver of recent years, Joanne Williams, his son
Philip, his daughter Julie and his grand-children Cameron and
Meredith White, as well as his spouse of 47 years Vivian Benoit
Vaillancourt.
He was born in Verdun, Montreal, became a teacher and was quickly promoted to one of the youngest school principals/administrators in the school board. Many students and
parents would know him from Clement, Allion and Laurier
MacDonald schools in LaSalle.
« Charlie » as he was known, also obtained his Master of Education
degree from McGill University and retired at an early age- to spend
more time on his interests and at the cottage in Morin-Heights- fishing, cycling, dart playing and wood carving. He continued to be actively involved in organized groups, including volunteering for Meals on Wheels and the annual Morin-Heights Viking (ski) Lopet, and holding prominent positions in the Association of Catholic Retired Administrators (ACRA), Morin-Heights Historical Association, Royal Canadian Legion branches 171 and 85-90, as a warden at the Morin-Heights Catholic church and even ran as counsellor for the Morin-Heights municipality.
Given the current pandemic situation, a funeral service will not be
held at this time, however we hope for a late summer burial ceremony at the Notre-Dame-Des-Neiges cemetery. Please periodically visit www.maisontrudel.com for further
details on timing.
