SAMSON, Venard Eugene, D’Escousse 1937-2023
It is with deep sadness and broken hearts that we announce the death of our beloved husband, father, Pépé, Grand-Pépé, brother, godfather, and uncle. Venard Eugene Samson of D’Escousse, passed away at St. Anne Community and Nursing Care Centre, on August 20, 2023 at the age of 86 years.
Venard was born on July 12, 1937, in Petit de Grat, to the late Eugene and Évangeline (David) Samson. Providing for his family was important to him. Venard started working at an early age at Booths Fisheries. He developed a passion for trucking and fishing. He drove trucks for Samson Sand & Gravel (Alphonse Samson) earlier in his adult life. He then became Captain of the Milton and Joan and The Divecon 1 as he fished for groundfish in the Atlantic. As the fishing stocks dwindled, he returned to trucking and worked for Premium Seafoods. He retired from Superior Contracting at the age of 76.
Venard was an amazing storyteller and a real people person. He loved to meet people and reminisce about the olden days. He enjoyed the many kitchen parties and loved listening to music. He was so proud of his children and loved to have Sunday meals and gatherings every week to bring everyone together.
Venard loved his dog “Charlie”! He loved to bring him for drives and give him sweet treats. Charlie was never too far from Venard’s side.
