Obituary for
Claude Hurtubise
It is with profound sadness that the family announces this passing, after a courageous battle with cancer. Beloved husband and best friend of Claudette (Savard), loving father of Paul (Laura Mulligan), Daniel (Katalin Gyömörey) and Mireille (Richard Noob), and cherished grandfather of Samuel, Isaac, Émanuel, Benoît, Sophie, Mathieu and Liselle.
Son of the late Gustave and of the late Yvette (Grenier) Hurtubise, big brother of the late Nicole, the late Diane (Doug Carr), Ronald (Francine Lavoie) and Guy (Christine Kehler), brother-in-law of the late Robert (Aline Labrosse), late Roy, late Richard (Léona Larivière), Ronald (Herma Rood), Pauline (Lloyd Gaudette), late Normand (Doreen Bradley), late Diane (Richard Vendette), late Aline, Lise (late Howard Russell), Jacques Savard (Heather Ford), Guy (Lise Lacasse) etc. He will also be missed by many nephews, nieces, relatives, in-laws, and friends.
Claude was a forthright, generous, and impassioned man. As regional director of Radio-Canada, president on several occasions of the “Universtité du 3e âge” (UTA), director of the “troupe Jeunes de coeur”, and member of the oil painting club of the “Centre de Santé Communautaire”, he was always active in promoting and supporting the “Francophonie” in his community.
Originally from Témiscamingue, he never missed opportunities, sad or joyful, to return there and re-immerse himself in the land of his childhood and reweave ties with family members who, near and far alike, were very close to his heart. Many of them benefited from “donations” from his prolific garden and his artisanal productions of wines, jams, and pecan pies!
The family would like to thank the team at the McCulloch Hospice, Bayshore and Homestead for the good care and help they have provided.
The family will receive relatives and friends, Friday, October 22, from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., as well as Saturday, October 23, 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., at the COOPERATIVE FUNERAL HOME, 222 Lasalle Blvd, Sudbury.
A funeral mass will be celebrated, this same Saturday, October 23, 2021, at 12 p.m., at St-Jean-de-Brébeuf parish, 26, rue Kathleen, Sudbury.
A celebration of his life will take place at a later date. Donations in his memory can be forwarded to the McCulloch Hospice.
