Denis had a long career working at Kidd Creek where his coworkers nicknamed him “Okie Dokie”. Denis was also a proud member of the Chevaliers de Colomb Conseil #6808. His proudest moments were spending time with his 9 grandchildren; they were his pride and joy. He enjoyed his daily rides around Gillies Lake, making his famous gravy and preparing family feasts for his 3 children and their families. His evenings were spent watching the news, game shows or old westerns on TV followed by a few games of Rummikub with Lise where she would sometimes let him win. Denis was loved from as far as Italy by their “adopted” Italian grand-daughter Adele Piano De Compos.
The family would like to thank the staff of Bayshore, Misiway and T&DH for their compassion and care. The funeral service will be held on Saturday, April 2nd, 2022 at 11am from St-Dominique Church (Father Alexis officiating). Donations to Diabetes Canada would be greatly appreciated. The family will receive friends on Friday, April 1st, 2022 from 2-4 and 7-9pm at the MIRON-WILSON FUNERAL HOME, Cremation and Reception Centre, 150 Balsam St. S., Timmins.
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Denis Raoul
