Roland Robichaud
1933-2019
Roland Robichaud, our beloved father, passed away on April 6,
2019, at
the age of 85. He is survived by his wife, Ruby
Gibeau, son Martin
(Jacalyn), daughters Renee and Elaine
(Glen), grandchildren Alex, Ruby,
Max; one sister Claudette
Arsenault (Frederic), uncle Rheal Cormier,
and several
nieces and nephews. Predeceased by his parents, Justice
Albany M. Robichaud and Dorina Cormier, brother Camilien and
sister
Camille. Roland was born in Bathurst, New Brunswick
on August 3rd,
1933. He was the third child born to his
parents, Justice Albany M.
Robichaud and Dorina Cormier,
brother to Camille, Camilien and
Claudette.
He was a graphic artist who graduated from
l'Ecole des beaux-arts de
Montreal, where he
met his wife Ruby. Although Roland and Ruby
separated years
later, they remained close and family always came
first. A
joker, he never could resist an opportunity to make someone
laugh. A musician, he often played drums at local dances in his
college
days. A Montreal Canadiens fan, he lived there for
many years, had his
three children, Martin, Renee and
Elaine, and worked in advertising
agencies. He then moved
to Fredericton to work wonders for Tourism
New Brunswick,
more advertising agencies, and later started his own
business (The Ad House). He was most proud of his three children
and
three grandchildren whom he truly enjoyed spending time
with. After a
short but very aggressive fight with cancer,
Roland passed away at the
Dr. Everett Chalmers Regional
Hospital. Always with a smile, he was a
kind, hard-working,
detail oriented man, who will be dearly missed by
his whole
family.
Visitation will be held at McAdam’s Funeral Home on
Saturday, April
13 th , 2019 from 4-6 PM. For those who
wish, memorial tributes may be
made to the charity of the
donor’s choice.
