It is with deep sadness we announce the
passing of Joseph “Camille”
Legere, age 74, of Port Elgin, NB. Camille passed away
unexpectedly at home on Tuesday, September 5, 2023.
Born in Port Elgin, NB, he was a son of
the late Rudolph and Lorraine (Fougere) Legere.
Camille was a “Jack of all
Trades” working at a variety of jobs throughout his life. He was
caring and supportive of family, friends and community. He served the
Village of Port Elgin as Fire Chief for many years. Camille supported
community groups including St. Clement’s Parish Cemetery,
Pedvac and Port Elgin Regional School.
Camille often said that being a father
and a bartender was the right preparation for the best job he ever had
as a school bus driver. Loyal, trustworthy and safe – our kids were in
good hands. He came home from work with wonderful stories about little
ones and imaginative stories about older ones. He loved his job of 25
years.
Camille also loved to build, work in our
yard, host family reunions, and travel. He was a cook and played the
drums. He taught us all to drive. His laughter was infectious and
could be heard in the garage, on a ship or at a dance. A beloved Dad,
Gramps, friend, and husband of 50 years.
He will be dearly missed by his wife Jan
Legere, 3 sons; Jacques, Fort McMurray, AB, Justin (Crystal), Head of
Jeddore, NS; Serge (Sylvie), Portage, NB; 2 grandchildren, Riley and
Ava; brothers, Roger (Mollie), Riverview, Jerry (Pat), Port Elgin, and
sister Annette Carter, Cap-Pele, NB.
Besides his parents, he was predeceased
by his brother Murray, infant sister Mary, and brother in law Bruce
Carter
