Obituary for
Jean Maurice Bourdon
As I lay here dying
I can hear you crying
I can hear my children sharing childhood memories.
Oh! What wonderful memories we have.
Nicole and John, Chris and Paula and André and Cindy
I love you!
I was lucky to have a career at Timmins High that I loved
And wonderful students who stayed in touch.
Volunteering, swimming, walking, skiing, and gardening in beautiful Timmins.
After losing the love of my life,Lillian, my caramia
I thought I could not go on
But I found a way¬-
I travelled and spent time with family.
Then my devastating stroke hit and I was never the same.
I did what I could and travelled to the cottage in the summer
And to Florida in the winter accompanied by my wonderful caregiver Catherine.
I spent time with my most adored family and enjoyed small pleasures.
Sunday dinners, outings to the market, and movies were a welcome break.
Painting and FaceTiming with grandchildren were the highlight of my day.
Advocating for residents as Chair of the Villa council satisfied my need to help others,
I was delighted to receive the Honour of Excellence award from the province.
In the end I found myself in a small room
With my amazing children by my side.
My grandchildren visited, cried, laughed, and shared memories-
I am so proud of all of you:
Alex and Rebecca, Chris and Liane, Nicolas and Gianni, Benjamin, Jacob and Isabela, Zachary, Emily, Sarah, Caleigh, Thomas, Joe, Amanda, Samantha, and Abigail.
I love you all. Be good. Be kind. Be happy!
And to my surprise and delight, I enjoyed two great grandchildren
Sawyer and Scarlett… May you be loved!
The most important thing in my life has been my family.
I was a lucky man.
Dad, we love you and we are happy that you can now be reunited with mom.
We have such fond memories of our childhood, and we thank you for everything you did for us especially your wisdom, your jokes, and your endearing stories! You had a way of captivating an audience and we love how you always thought everyone was beautiful!
Nicole&John, Chris&Paula, André&Cindy
