Passed peacefully with his family by his side on Monday, May 24, 2010 at Ian Anderson House, Oakville, Ontario. Cremation has taken place. Interment in Island Brook, Quebec to occur at a later date. Lucien was the loving husband of Yvonne (Marshall) and was predeceased by Thelma (Dawson) in 2001. Born in Montreal, Lucien had a long and distinguished career in Education, as both a Teacher and Principal. He went on to become the Director of the Lakeshore School Board where he served for 20 years. Upon moving to Ontario in 1976, Lucien became the Director of the Council of Ministers of Education (Canada). During his retirement years he continued to enjoy travel, gardening and active memberships in Probus and his Church community. Lucien will be forever loved and dearly missed by his children, David (Brenda), Terry (Marion), Jocelyn and Michael (predeceased 2009). Special "Poppy" to grandchildren Andre, Jon, Shayla, Liam, Adam, Rachelle, Emily and Danielle. Cherished Uncle of Diane (Terry) Howell and Bobby Dawson. He will be greatly missed by Elaine Perras and fondly remembered by stepchildren Joe and Shirley. Lucien was a loyal and cherished friend to many who will most certainly miss his wisdom and generous spirit. For the love and support he was granted during his illness we are eternally grateful. A special thanks to Dr. Rouse and the "Angels" at IAH for your compassionate care and guidance. Words cannot adequately express our gratitude. A memorial service will be held at Maple Grove United Church, 346 Maple Grove Drive, Oakville, Ontario L6J 4V5 on Friday, May 28 at 2:00 pm. Reception immediately following the service. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations to either Maple Grove United Church or Ian Anderson House would be greatly appreciated.
