It is with great
sadness that we announce the death of Arthur Bourque, 85, on Sunday
September 4, 2022, surrounded by his family. He was the son of the
late Maurice and Lucilda (Léger) Bourque.
Before his retirement
and for many years, he was the owner of Arthur M. Bourque Floor
Covering. Arthur had a passion for crafts, especially creating with
wood bird feeders, cars, and all other small projects.
An extraordinary
husband, a tender and devoted father to his children and a grandfather
who loved to spoil his grandchildren. He will leave a huge void with
the members of his family.
He is survived by his
wife of 60 years, Loretta (Vienneau); his children: Annise (Michel
Girouard), Richard (Monique) and Joël (Marcelle); seven
grandchildren: Marc (Julie), Guylaine (Grant), Mireille (Seth),
François (Izabel), Dominic (Janelle), Cathérine
(Tyler) and Samuel; six great-grandchildren:
Adélaïde, Rosalie, Marco, Rory, Lexi, and Olivier.
He also leaves to mourn his brothers: Victor (late Germaine), Joseph
(Louise) and André (late Rosella); six sisters: Claudette
(Edgar), Marie-Mai (late Francis), Fernande (late Jack), Jacinthe
(Ronald), Diane (Normand), Roberte (Paul) and many nieces and
nephews.
Other than his
parents, he was predeceased by his brothers and sisters: Ronald (late
Maimie), Roger (Noëlla), Alcide and Irois
(Hélèna).
