François Babin, 81, of Moncton, passed away on
Thursday, October 10, 2024, at his residence. Born in Richibucto, he
was the son of the late Alyre and Céleste (Robichaud)
Babin.
A graduate of the University of Moncton in 1964 with a
Bachelor’s Degree in Commerce, François pursued his
professional career at Eaton’s, Richibucto Cartier Co-op, and United
Maritime Fishermen. He also served as President of the Board of
Directors of Co-op Atlantic and was involved in many business ventures
until his retirement. François was an avid golfer who spent
much of his time playing with friends and enjoying a game that
regularly challenged him. A dedicated Montreal Canadiens fan, he never
missed a game. He and his beloved wife, Eva, spent many nights
cheering them on together.
François is survived by his wife of 58 years, Eva
(Chevarie); two children: Jacques (Tina) and Lise Babin (Roger
Melanson); four grandchildren: Patrick, Mathieu, Émilie,
and Simon; one brother, Arthur (Fernande); as well as his nieces and
nephews.
The family would like to thank the many health care
professionals who cared for François, specifically Dr.
Jules Cormier, Dr. Eric Brideau, and the many employees of the
Extra-Mural program, with special thanks to Veronique.
The family will receive condolences at Frenette Funeral and
Cremation Centre, 88 Church Street, Moncton (506-858-1900), where the
funeral service will be held on Thursday, October 17, at 11 a.m.
