By using this Website, you signify your acknowledgment and agreement to these Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree with these Terms and Conditions, DO NOT use this Website (as defined herein).

These Terms and Conditions govern the use of the Book Of Memories websites (the "Website") and other services (collectively the "Services"). FrontRunner Professional ("Company," "we," "us," "our") reserves the right in our sole discretion to change, amend or modify (the "changes") all or part of these Terms and Conditions at any time and from time to time for any reason. Any changes to these Terms and Conditions will be noted by indicating the date these Terms and Conditions were last made. Any changes will become effective no earlier than fourteen (14) days after they are posted; provided, however, that changes addressing new functions of the Services or changes made for legal reasons will be effective immediately. Your use or continued use of the Services after the date any such changes become effective shall constitute your express acceptance of the Terms and Conditions as changed, amended or modified.

Eligibility: Users under 18 years of age are not eligible to use the Services without consent. Users between the ages of 13 and 17, can use the Services with the consent and supervision of a parent or legal guardian who is at least 18 years of age; provided, however, that such parent or legal guardian agrees to be bound by these Terms and Conditions, and agrees to be responsible for such use of the Services. Company reserves the right to refuse use of the Services to anyone and to reject, cancel, interrupt, remove or suspend any Campaign, Donation, or the Services at any time for any reason without liability.

Definitions: In these Terms and Conditions "Campaign Organizers" means those raising funds, and "Campaigns" as their fundraising campaigns. Additionally, "Donors" means those contributing funds, and "Donations" as the funds they contribute. Campaign Organizers, Donors and other visitors to the Services are referred to collectively as "Users". The term "Campaign Organizers" shall also be deemed to include any individual(s) designated as a beneficiary of Campaigns.

Services: The Services are offered as a platform (the "Platform") to Users of the Services. Among other features, the Services are designed to allow Campaign Organizers to post Campaigns to the Platform to accept Donations from Donors. Although there are no fees to set up Campaigns, a portion of each Donation will be charged as fees for our Services and those of our third party payment processors. Company reserves the right to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Services with or without notice. You agree that Company will not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension or discontinuance thereof. The Company has no responsibility or liability for the deletion or failure to store any data or other content maintained or uploaded by the Services. To the extent you access the Services through a mobile device, your wireless service carrier's standard charges, data rates and other fees may apply. In addition, downloading, installing, or using certain Services may be prohibited or restricted by your carrier, and not all Services may work with all carriers or devices. By using the Services, you agree that we may communicate with you regarding Company and other entities by SMS, MMS, text message or other electronic means to your mobile device and that certain information about use of the Services may be communicated to us.

Charitable Giving: Campaigns are not charities to which you can make tax-deductible charitable contributions. Any Donation you make through the Platform may be processed by an unaffiliated business partner for which a processing fee (in addition to our FrontRunner Professional Fee) is deducted. You understand, acknowledge and agree that Company is not a charity, and Company does not solicit charitable donations for itself or for any third-party charitable institution. Company is merely acting as a payment facilitator for any Donations.

Administrative Platform Only: The Services are an administrative platform only. The Company is merely acting as a payment facilitator for any Donations between Campaign Organizers and Donors, and is not a party to any agreement between Campaign Organizers and Donors. Company is not a broker, agent, financial institution, creditor or insurer for any user. Company has no control over the conduct of, or any information provided by Campaign Organizers, and Company hereby disclaims all liability in this regard. We expressly disclaim any liability or responsibility for the success or outcome of any Campaign. Donors must in their sole discretion make the final determination of making Donations to any Campaigns. Donors are solely responsible for asking questions and investigating Campaign Organizers and Campaigns to the extent they feel is necessary before making a Contribution. All Donations are made voluntarily and at the sole discretion and risk of Donors. Company does not guarantee that Donations will be used as promised. Company does not endorse, guarantee, make representations, or provide warranties for or about the quality, safety, or legality of any Campaign. Donors are solely responsible for determining how to treat their Donations for tax purposes.

No Verification of Campaign Information: We do not verify the information that Campaign Organizers supply, and do not guarantee that the Donations will be used in accordance with any fundraising purpose prescribed by Campaign Organizers. We disclaim and assume no responsibility to verify whether the Donations are used in accordance with any applicable laws.

Your Registration Obligations: You may be required to register with Company in order to access and use certain features of the Services. If you choose to register for the Services, you agree to provide and maintain true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself as prompted by the Services' registration form. Campaign Organizers must register using their true identities, including their name and any image purporting to depict the Campaign Organizer. Registration data and certain other information about you are governed by our Privacy Policy. If you are under 13 years of age, you are not authorized to use the Services, with or without registering. In addition, if you are under 18 years old, you may use the Services, with or without registering, only with the approval of your parent or guardian. Certain aspects of our Services may also require you to register with (and agree to the terms of) third party service providers (e.g., payment processors or charitable donation processors) in order to utilize such Services. While we may help facilitate such registration in some cases, we are not a party to any such relationships and disclaim any responsibility or liability for the performance by such third parties. We may exchange information with such third party services in order to facilitate the provision of Services (and related third party services).

Public Display of Donations: Donors have the option to publicly display their Donations for public viewing or allow their information to be provided to the Campaign beneficiary(ies). To keep the details of your Donation private, simply click the appropriate checkbox during the Donation process. Please see our Privacy Policy for more information on the ways that we may collect, use, and store certain information about you and your use of the Services.

Payment of Donations: In order to contribute to a Campaign, Donors will be required to provide Company information regarding its credit card (i.e., VISA, MasterCard, Discover or American Express) or other payment method. Donors represent and warrant to Company that such information is true and that Donors are authorized to use the credit card or payment method. Donors agree that a certain minimum Donation amount may apply, and that all Donation payments are final and cannot be refunded. Donors agree to promptly update account information with any changes that may occur and to pay the Donation amount that you specify. Donors hereby authorize Company to bill Donors' credit cards and payment methods in advance on a periodic basis until Donors terminate periodic payments through the Platform.

Fees: Company does not charge Campaign Organizers any upfront fees for Campaigns. Company retains a portion of each Donation contributed to Campaigns in the amount of four percent (4%) ("FrontRunner Professional Fee"). A portion of the Donation is payable to our third party payment processors ("Processing Fee"). Donors acknowledge that by contributing Donations to Campaigns, Donors are agreeing to any and all applicable terms and conditions set forth by a third party payment processor, in addition to these Terms and Conditions. The portion of each Donation payable to and retained by our third party payment processors are:

        • US Users ONLY: Third party payment processor charges a fee of 2.9% AND $0.30 per donation for VISA, MasterCard or Discover cards or 3.4% AND $0.30 per donation for American Express cards.

        • CA Users ONLY: Third party payment processor charges a fee of 2.9% AND $0.30 per donation for VISA, MasterCard or Discover cards or 3.4% AND $0.30 per donation for American Express cards.

All Tribute Pay Fees and Processing Fees ("Fees") are deducted directly from each Donation and are not reflected in the amount which Campaign Organizers can withdraw from the Campaign. We reserve the right to change any of the Fees from time to time. If we change any of the Fees, we will provide notice of the change on the Website or otherwise, at our option, at least fourteen (14) days before the change is to take effect. Your continued use of the Services after the change in any of the Fees becomes effective constitutes your acceptance of the new Fees.

Indemnification: You agree to release, indemnify and hold Company and its affiliates and their owners, officers, employees, directors and agents harmless from any from any and all losses, damages, expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, rights, claims, causes of action, actions of any kind and injury (including death) arising out of or relating to your use of the Services, any Donation or Campaign, your violation of these Terms and Conditions or your violation of any rights of another. If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which says: "A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR". To the extent you are a resident of another jurisdiction, you waive any comparable statute or doctrine

IF YOU ARE DISSATISFIED WITH ANY PORTION OF THE SERVICE OR WITH THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY IS TO DISCONTINUE USE OF THE SERVICE.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION - ARBITRATION (READ CAREFULLY): You agree to arbitrate all disputes and claims between you and Company (including our respective subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors in interest, successors, and assigns). Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may bring an individual action in small claims court. Notice of Dispute ("Notice"). The Notice to Company should be sent to 2501 Parmenter Street, Suite 300A, Middleton, WI 53562, Attn: President, with a copy by email to support@tributepayments.com ("Notice Address"). The Notice must (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute, and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought ("Demand"). If Company and you do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within sixty (60) days after the Notice is received, you or Company may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by Company or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or Company is entitled.

The arbitration will be governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, "AAA Rules") of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), as modified by this Terms and Conditions, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules are available online at adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by writing to the Notice Address. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of this Terms and Conditions. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including, but not limited to, issues relating to the scope, enforceability, and arbitrability of the arbitration provision. Unless Company and you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in Chicago, Illinois. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. YOU AND COMPANY AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Unless both you and Company agree otherwise in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void.

We will not share your Personal Information with anyone except as described in this Policy. Changes to this Policy will be announced on our Site, so please check back periodically. This Policy forms part of the Company’s TERMS AND CONDITIONS and is incorporated by reference to those Terms and Conditions.

This Policy outlines Company’s general policies and practices for protecting your private information on this Site. It covers why Company collects information, the types of information it gathers, how it uses such information, and the notice and choice affected individuals have regarding Company’s use of and their ability to correct their information. This Policy applies to all personal information received by Company whether in electronic, written, or verbal format.

Company reserves the right to modify this Policy at any time and will do so from time to time. Each modification shall be effective upon its posting to the Site. Your continued use of the Site following any such modification constitutes your acceptance of any change(s) to this Policy. It is therefore important that you review this Policy regularly. If you have any questions concerning this Policy please contact Company at support@frontrunner360.com.

1. Scope

This Policy covers the Site in part and as a whole. However, it does not apply to entities that Company does not own or control, including without limitation, Campaign, advertisers or developers of content. Company may include third-party links on the Site. These third-party sites are governed by their own privacy policies and NOT this Policy. Company therefore has no responsibility or liability for the content and activities of these third-party sites. Please check the privacy policy of any third-party site you interact with on or off the Site.

2. General Policy Provisions

  1. Definitions

    “Personal Information” includes both “Personally Identifiable Information” and “Non-Personally Identifiable Information”.

    "Personally Identifiable Information" refers to information that lets us know the specifics of who you are and can be used to identify, contact or locate you. Personally Identifiable Information is requested when you register with us, make a Donation, correspond with us, or otherwise volunteer information, for instance, through the use of "Contact Us". Personally Identifiable Information may include, without limitation, your name, mailing address, telephone number, e-mail address, credit card number, and other identification and contact information.

    "Non-Personally Identifiable Information" refers to information that does not identify a specific individual by itself or in combination with other information. We gather certain information about you based upon what you view on our Site in several ways. This information is compiled and analyzed on both a personal and an aggregated basis. This information may include the Site’s Uniform Resource Locator ("URL") that you just came from, which URL you next go to, what browser you are using, and your Internet Protocol ("IP") address. A URL is the global address of documents and other resources on the World Wide Web (‘Web”). An IP address is an identifier for a computer or device on a Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol ("TCP/IP") network, such as the World Wide Web. Networks use the TCP/IP protocol to route information based on the IP address of the destination. In other words, an IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the Web, allowing Web servers to locate and identify your computer. Computers require IP addresses in order for users to communicate on the Internet, browse and shop

    “Sensitive Personal Information” means Personal Information that reveals race, ethnic origin, sexual orientation, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade union membership or that concerns an individual’s health.

  2. Notice

    Company shall inform you of the purposes for which it collects and uses Personal Information and the types of non-agent third parties to which Company discloses or may disclose that information. Company shall provide you with the choice and means for limiting the use and disclosure of your Personal Information. Notice will be provided in clear and conspicuous language when you are first asked to provide Personal Information to Company, or as soon as practicable thereafter. In any event, you will receive notice before Company uses or discloses the information for a purpose other than that for which it was originally collected.

  3. Choice

    Company will offer you the opportunity to choose (opt-out) whether Personal Information is to be disclosed to a third party or to be used for a purpose other than that for which it was originally collected or has subsequently been authorized. For Sensitive Personal Information (when applicable), Company will give you the opportunity to affirmatively or explicitly consent (opt-in) to the disclosure of the information for a purpose other than that for which it was originally collected or has subsequently been authorized. Company will treat Sensitive Personal Information it receives from anyone the same as it would treat its own Sensitive Personal Information.

  4. Security

    Company shall take reasonable steps to protect Personal Information from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. No company is immune from Internet attacks or data breaches. Company cannot guarantee the security of information on or transmitted via the Internet.

  5. Data Integrity

    Company shall only process Personal Information in a way that is compatible with and relevant to the purpose for which it was collected or has been authorized. To the extent necessary for those purposes, Company shall take reasonable steps to ensure that Personal Information is accurate, complete, current, and reliable for its intended use.

  6. How to Access Your Information

    Company offers you choices for the collection, use and sharing of Personal Information. You may notify Company of your preferences, or change any Personal Information, by emailing support@frontrunner360.com. Please be sure to provide complete account information so Company can identify you in its records.

    You may also stop the delivery of future promotional e-mail from Company by responding directly to any email you receive with a request to remove you from the mailing list.

3.Reasons the Company Collects Personal Information

Company collects your Personal Information because it helps deliver a superior online experience, gives you convenient access to the Site for browsing, and allows key features of the Site to function properly. In order to better provide you with this superior level of customer service, our Site collects two types of information (referred to in this policy as "Personal Information") about our visitors: Personally Identifiable Information and Non-Personally Identifiable Information. In addition, your Personal Information helps Company keep you informed about the latest announcements, special offers, and events that you might like to hear about.

4. Information Company Collects About You

Any time a guest or member (collectively “Users”) accesses the Site they receive a “cookie” from Company. Company uses cookies (small pieces of data stored for an extended period of time on a computer, mobile phone, or other device) to make the Site easier to use and to protect both you and Company. These cookies give Company certain Non-Personally Identifiable Information about your use of the Site. You may remove or block cookies using the settings in your browser, but in some cases that may impact your ability to use the Site. Company may also use pixels, widgets and other tools to gather such Non-Personally Identifiable Information to improve the experience of the website or mobile application.

Company may contract with third-party service providers to assist it in better understanding its Site Users. These service providers are not permitted to use the Non-Personally Identifiable Information collected on Company’s behalf except to help it conduct and improve its business.

When you access the Site from a computer, mobile phone, or other device, Company may collect Non-Personally Identifiable Information, which does not identify individual users, to analyze trends, to administer the site, to track users’ movements around the site and to gather demographic information about the user base as a whole. Company will not use the information collected to market directly to that person.

Company keeps track of some of the actions you take on the Site such as member profiles and pages you view. Even if you do not provide certain information, Company may obtain it from you profile or the pages of its Site that you visit. Company may retain the details of connections or transactions you make on the Site.

5. Information You Provide to Company

To become a User, Company shall collect certain Personally Identifiable Information, which you are required to provide. Information that is not required shall be deemed voluntary and you may provide such information, although not mandatory.

While using the Site, you may provide text, files, images, photos, videos, location data, or any other materials (collectively “Content”) to Company by uploading, posting, or publishing the Content on the Site. Frequently, Content you place on the Site will contain a picture of your face. Company may retain the details of connections or transactions you make on the Site.

Where applicable, when you interact with other Users on the Site, you may provide other information about yourself, such as political or topical views, religious affiliation, or marital status. Any information in a public forum is accessible by anyone, including people who are not members of the Site. Please be aware they may share information you give them with other Users you may not know. They may also share the information outside the Site without your prior approval. Company does not have control over the actions of its Users and accepts no responsibility or liability for their actions. Please keep this fact in mind when using the Site, and use care when disclosing Personal Information to other Users of the Site.

Company may also collect information from ads you click on when using the Site. Company may also keep track of links you click on in e-mails you receive from Company. This is done to increase the relevancy of the ads you see.

6. How Company Uses Your Personal Information

Company uses the information you are required to provide to become a User in order to insure you are over the age of thirteen (13). THE SITE IS NOT MEANT TO BE USED BY ANYONE UNDER THE AGE OF THIRTEEN (13). If you are under thirteen, please do not attempt to register with the Site or send Company any Personal Information. Company may also use your age information to be sure you receive an age appropriate experience while using the Site.

Company will use the information it collects to provide, without limitation, services and features to you and facilitate payment for any Donations between Campaign Organizers and Donors and provide information to Campaign Organizers and Campaign beneficiaries. Company will also use the information to measure and improve the Site, and to provide you with customer support.

Company may contact you with new or updated products or services, designs, routes, surveys, or other related announcements from time to time. You may opt-out of all communications except essential updates. Company may include Content in the e-mails sent to you.

Certain software applications and applets transmit data to Company. Company may not make a formal disclosure if it believes its collection of and use of the information is the obvious purpose of the Site or its related application. If it is not obvious that Company is collecting or using such information, it will disclose its collection to you the first time you provide the information.

Company may use the information collected to prevent potential illegal activities. Company may also use a variety of methods to detect and address anomalous activity and screen content to prevent abuse.

Company may use your information to serve you personalized advertising. Company does not share your information with advertisers without your consent. Company allows advertisers to choose the characteristics of Users who will see their advertisements. Company may use any of the Non-Personally Identifiable Information it has collected in any fashion to select the appropriate audience. Company will not tell the advertiser who you are as part of this process. When you interact with an advertisement there is a possibility that you may receive a cookie from the advertiser.

7. How Company Shares Your Information

Company shares your Personal Information with third parties when it believes you have permitted such sharing, that it is reasonably necessary to offer services, or when legally required to do so. Company will not share your Personally Identifiable Information with third parties in a way that it thinks violates your privacy. The following non-exhaustive list contains examples of how Company shares or could share your information:

  1. If Site allows you to invite a friend to join the Site or become a User, and you choose to do so, the invitation will contain information that will allow your friend to identify you. The invitation may contain information about other Users your friend might know.

  2. Certain information you provide to Company may be shared by using the Site’s search function. This allows other Users to locate your profile and it allows new Users to find people they know on the Site.

  3. Company provides some public information to search engines. This information allows search engines to locate the Site. It also allows people to locate you on the Site using a major search engine. This does not mean all information you post on the Site may be accessed using a search engine.

  4. There are also times when Company may make certain Personal Information about you available to strategic partners or third parties. These companies may help Company process information, render services to you, manage and enhance customer data, provide customer service, assess your interest in products and services, or conduct research or satisfaction surveys. Without such information being made available, it would be difficult for you to use Company's Site and services.

  5. Company may also share Personal Information when it has a good faith belief it is necessary to prevent fraud or other illegal activity, to prevent imminent bodily harm, or to protect itself and you from people violating the Terms and Conditions of the Site. This may include sharing information with other companies, lawyers, and courts or other government entities.

  6. Company may disclose information pursuant to subpoenas, court orders, or other requests (including criminal and civil matters) if it has a good faith belief that the law requires such a response. This may include requests from jurisdictions outside of the United States if Company has a good faith belief that the response is required by law under the local laws in that jurisdiction, is applicable to users from that jurisdiction, and is consistent with generally accepted international standards.

  7. Company may disclose analyzed data in the form of purchasing trends or statistical data. No Personally Identifiable Information will be attached to this disclosure.

8. Business or Asset Transfer or Sale

Company may be sold, sell or buy businesses or assets of businesses, or merge with another business. In such transactions, Personal Information generally is one of the transferred business assets. Also, in the event that Company, a line of business of Company, or substantially all the assets of Company are transferred, Personal Information may well be one of the transferred assets. Company will make a reasonable effort to provide notice on the Site, and to notify you via e-mail to the most recent e-mail address that you have provided of any such change in ownership or control of your personal information.

9. Miscellaneous

  1. Privacy of Children

    YOU MUST BE EIGHTEEN (18) YEARS OR OLDER TO ACCESS THE SITE OR USE ITS SERVICES. IF YOU ARE UNDER EIGHTEEN YEARS OF AGE, YOU ARE NOT PERMITTED TO ACCESS ANY OF COMPANY’S SERVICES FOR ANY REASON. DUE TO THE AGE RESTRICTIONS FOR USE OF COMPANY’S SITE AND SERVICES, NO INFORMATION OBTAINED BY COMPANY FALLS WITHIN THE CHILDREN’S ONLINE PRIVACY PROTECTION ACT OF 1998 AND IS NOT MONITORED AS DOING SO.

    Protecting children’s privacy is especially important to Company. Company does not knowingly collect Personal Information from children under 13, but because some information is collected electronically, it can appear to be the Personal Information of someone over the age of 13, and will be treated as such by this Policy. If a child under 13 submits Personal Information and Company learns that Personal Information pertains to a child under 13, it will attempt to delete the information as soon as possible. It is Company’s policy to comply with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 and all other applicable laws. Therefore, Company restricts the Site and all other provided services to persons 18 years or older.

  2. Agreement with Policy and Continued Use of Site

    Unless stated otherwise, Company’s current Policy applies to all information that Company has about you, your account, and access to the Site. By using the Site, you consent to this Policy and having your Personal Information and data transferred and processed as described.

Obituary

Larochelle, Gilles Joseph

It is with profound sadness that the family of Gilles Joseph Larochelle announce his passing on Wednesday, April 5, 2023 at the age of 75. At the time of his passing, he was surrounded by his children, the love of his family and the incredibly compassionate staff at Providence Care Hospital. He will always be lovingly remembered and missed by his son Glen, daughter Aline, and grandson Brooks. Dear brother of Jean Guy Larochelle (Lorraine), Dorothy (Jean-Jaques), Micheline (Gilles), and Lyne (Louis), uncle of many nieces and nephews. Predeceased by his parents Arthur and Aline Larochelle.

Tenderly known as 'Papa' by his children and grandchild, Gilles was a kind, brave, quiet, hardworking, independent, easygoing, humble and courageous man who inspired those around him to face life's challenges with vehemence and strength.

Posted at 07:20am
Thank you so much for being part of this day to honor Papa’s life. While today is a profoundly sad one, even in this time of grief, we must reflect on the many wonderful experiences that I - and the rest of you - shared with my dad, your uncle, your brother, your cousin, your friend. I’m honored to have the opportunity to reflect on Gilles’ life with you today and I want to take this opportunity to share the fondest memories that many of you have shared with me.

Merci beaucoup d'avoir participé à cette journée pour honorer la vie de papa. Bien qu'aujourd'hui soit profondément triste, même en cette période de deuil, nous devons réfléchir aux nombreuses expériences merveilleuses que moi - et vous autres - avons partagées avec mon père, votre oncle, votre frère, votre cousin, votre ami. Je suis honoré d'avoir l'occasion de réfléchir sur la vie de Gilles avec vous aujourd'hui et je veux profiter de cette occasion pour partager les plus beaux souvenirs que beaucoup d'entre vous ont partagés avec moi.

When Gilles was a child, his sisters told me how he exhibited great building skills even from a young age. When they were young, he gathered up some wood from around the property and built a snow plow for the family. In order to get it to work, he had to manually push it while running to ensure it functioned like a real one. He made paths for his sisters and brother to walk on from the house to other buildings on the farm. He also built a small rabbit hutch in the family's orchard to house his rabbits before selling them. These events alone demonstrate his entrepreneurial drive and determination, even as a young child. I remember that he built a sleeper cabin onto the back of our pick up truck so my brother and I had somewhere to sleep on our drive up to Florida. It was a highly illegal situation and not to mention, extremely unsafe, but Papa was determined to get to Florida as quickly as possible so if that meant throwing the kids in a 3 foot wide wooden box to sleep and peeing in bottles to make it there in 24 hours, then that’s the way it was going to be. When we lived in Cloyne, he built a trailer, disguising it as a work expense, but really it was to transport his new snowmobile and equipment from place to place. Unfortunately, while Papa was working in the trailer, a kerosene heater tipped over and a fire quickly spread. He had to run through flames to save himself but wasn’t able to save his brand new Polaris snowmobile or the trailer he worked so hard to build.

Quand Gilles était enfant, ses sœurs m'ont raconté comment il avait fait preuve de grandes compétences en construction dès son plus jeune âge. Quand ils étaient jeunes, il ramassa du bois autour de la propriété et construisit un chasse-neige pour la famille. Pour le faire fonctionner, il a dû le pousser manuellement tout en courant pour s'assurer qu'il fonctionnait comme un vrai. Il a fait des chemins pour que ses sœurs et son frère puissent marcher de la maison aux autres bâtiments de la ferme. Il a également construit un petit clapier dans le verger familial pour abriter ses lapins avant de les vendre. Ces événements démontrent à eux seuls son esprit d'entreprise et sa détermination, même en tant que jeune enfant. Je me souviens qu'il a construit une cabine-lit à l'arrière de notre camionnette pour que mon frère et moi ayons un endroit où dormir pendant notre trajet jusqu'en Floride. C'était une situation hautement illégale et sans parler, extrêmement dangereuse, mais papa était déterminé à se rendre en Floride le plus rapidement possible, donc si cela signifiait jeter les enfants dans une boîte en bois de 3 pieds de large pour dormir et faire pipi dans des bouteilles pour y arriver dans 24 heures, alors c'est comme ça que ça allait être. Lorsque nous vivions à Cloyne, il a construit une remorque, déguisée en frais de travail, mais en réalité, c'était pour transporter sa nouvelle motoneige et son équipement d'un endroit à l'autre. Malheureusement, alors que papa travaillait dans la remorque, un radiateur à kérosène s'est renversé et un incendie s'est rapidement propagé. Il a dû courir à travers les flammes pour se sauver, mais n'a pas pu sauver sa toute nouvelle motoneige Polaris ou la remorque qu'il a travaillé si dur à construire.

When his sister Lyne was little, Papa had to babysit her occasionally. Lyne can remember him making her desserts and taking her for many rides on their snowmobile. As a teenager, apparently Gilles was popular with the ladies, and he knew it. This was also when he discovered his joy of music by using the metal coffee table as a drum set, only to later discover that he preferred to play the guitar and sing. He often played “House of the Rising Sun” and “Bee Bop a Lula” and “Hanky Panky” but especially loved impersonating Elvis, often singing “Hound Dog”.

Quand sa sœur Lyne était petite, papa devait la garder occasionnellement. Lyne se souvient de lui préparant des desserts et l'emmenant faire de nombreuses balades en motoneige. Adolescent, Gilles était apparemment populaire auprès des dames et il le savait. C'est aussi à ce moment-là qu'il découvre sa joie de la musique en utilisant la table basse en métal comme batterie, pour découvrir plus tard qu'il préfère jouer de la guitare et chanter. Il jouait souvent "House of the Rising Sun" et "Bee Bop a Lula" et "Hanky ​​Panky" mais aimait surtout se faire passer pour Elvis, chantant souvent "Hound Dog".

Papa was fearless, and sometimes even impulsive. He loved to go fast. As a young adult, he bought a small motorboat where his passion for speed and racing became evident. He loved to outrun all the other boats to get to his destination first. His family had so many good times with that boat. They used to water ski all summer, attempting three-story water ski pyramids, and Gilles was the best driver for it. He also enjoyed water skiing himself at Shabomeka Lake, but usually barefoot without skis. Later in his life, he even got into drag racing with his brand new yellow and black Dodge Demon. He was a good driver of all things with a motor, eventually channeling his passion for racing and speed into snowmobile races all over Quebec and Ontario. He eventually won his Class Championship at the Ontario Snowmobile Racing Federation in Alliston Ontario. His talents were obvious in our family home with the large trophy and medal display we had in our basement growing up.

Papa était intrépide et parfois même impulsif. Il aimait aller vite. En tant que jeune adulte, il a acheté un petit bateau à moteur où sa passion pour la vitesse et la course est devenue évidente. Il aimait distancer tous les autres bateaux pour arriver le premier à sa destination. Sa famille a passé tellement de bons moments avec ce bateau. Ils avaient l'habitude de faire du ski nautique tout l'été, essayant des pyramides à trois étages, et Gilles était le meilleur pilote pour cela. Il aimait aussi faire du ski nautique lui-même au lac Shabomeka, mais généralement pieds nus sans skis. Plus tard dans sa vie, il s'est même lancé dans les courses de dragsters avec son tout nouveau Dodge Demon jaune et noir. Il était un bon conducteur de toutes choses avec un moteur, culminant finalement sa passion pour la course et la vitesse dans des courses de motoneige partout au Québec et en Ontario. Il a finalement remporté son championnat de classe à la Fédération des courses de motoneiges de l'Ontario à Alliston en Ontario. Ses talents étaient évidents chez nous avec le grand étalage de trophées et de médailles que nous avions dans notre sous-sol en grandissant.

More than a risk taker and a need for speed type of guy, Gilles also had a generous soul to his family and friends. Jill Cote can attest to that, recalling the time her grandmother was not well. Gilles drove her and Jean Claude to and from Quebec in the winter because they didn’t have a car. It was during a bad storm and cars were going in the ditch all over the place, but he drove straight through with no problem at all. He was helpful to his dear friends Albert and Susie Hawley, assisting them with their garden and renovating their home. His clear-cut generosity shone through with his willingness to teach others how to race snowmobiles and also to teach others his vast knowledge of construction. He even taught me how to smooth mortar between bricks.

Plus qu'un preneur de risques et un besoin de vitesse, Gilles avait aussi une âme généreuse envers sa famille et ses amis. Jill Cote peut en témoigner, se rappelant l'époque où sa grand-mère n'allait pas bien. Gilles la conduisait avec Jean Claude pendant l’hiver en Québec parce qu'ils n'avaient pas de voiture. C'était pendant une grosse tempête et des voitures roulaient partout dans le fossé, mais il a traversé sans aucun problème. Il a été utile à ses chers amis Albert et Susie Hawley, les aidant avec leur jardin et rénovant leur maison. Sa générosité évidente s'est manifestée par sa volonté d'enseigner aux autres comment faire des courses de motoneiges et aussi d'enseigner aux autres ses vastes connaissances en construction. Il m'a même appris à lisser le mortier entre les briques.

Papa was also known for his half-french / half english sayings, some of which have stood the test of time and are still used today. When I was a kid, he would make us “puff corn” at night to watch movies. He always told us to “close the light” or that he made “De best dam hamburg in Napanee”. My aunt Donalda and Uncle Jeff still use one of his sayings today. The saying came about after he crashed in one of his snowmobile races. He explained the crash by saying “I hit a piece of chunk and could do noting”. To this day, they will use the saying “hit a piece of chunk” if they’re riding their 4-wheelers in the backcountry.

Papa était également connu pour ses dictons Franglaise ou Frenglish, dont certains ont résisté à l'épreuve du temps et sont encore utilisés aujourd'hui. Quand j'étais toute petite, il nous faisait « puff-corn » le soir pour regarder des films. Il nous disait toujours de « close de lights » ou qu'il faisait « De best dam hamburg in Napanee ». Ma tante Donalda et mon oncle Jeff utilisent encore aujourd'hui l'un de ses dictons. Le dicton est né après qu'il s'est écrasé dans l'une de ses courses de motoneige. Il a expliqué l'accident en disant "I hit a piece of chunk and could do noting.". À ce jour, ils utiliseront le dicton “hit a piece of chunk” s'ils conduisent leurs quad dans l'arrière-pays.

Gilles' work ethic was undeniable. He loved to keep busy, a trait he has passed down to myself. Brick laying, basement foundations, stone fireplaces and drywall were among his specialties and he was often praised by his customers for these skills. Even to this day, I have people around town tell me about what my dad built for him and how incredible a job he did. Because he was such a workhorse, my mom would sometimes have to go and help him with mixing cement and carrying blocks since it was often the only way she would get to spend time with him.

L'éthique de travail de Gilles était indéniable. Il aimait s'occuper, un trait qu'il m'a transmis. La pose de briques, les fondations de sous-sol, les foyers en pierre et les cloisons sèches faisaient partie de ses spécialités et il était souvent loué par ses clients pour ces compétences. Même à ce jour, des gens de la ville me parlent de ce que mon père a construit pour eux et du travail incroyable qu'il a fait. Parce qu'il était un bourreau de travail, ma mère devait parfois aller l'aider à mélanger le ciment et à transporter des blocs, car c'était souvent la seule façon pour elle de passer du temps avec lui.

He easily earned the respect of my Aunt Angie and Uncle Ken when Gilles would stay over at Angie’s dorm in Kingston while she was going to university. He was working just a few minutes away at the construction site for the new Kingston Psychiatric Hospital. He would always be gone hours before the time university students got out of bed, and arrive later in the day, hours after university students had gotten home. Angie and Ken would meet Gilles at the job site to make the travel connections. Repeatedly, when they got to the job site, they would find Gilles speaking with a fellow worker, which would be followed by pouring through a multipage blueprint, which lead to the worker heading off to resolve some issue. On a number of occasions, if there weren’t others lined up to speak with Gilles, the conversation would lead to him disappearing into the construction jungle to solve problems. Most job site hard hats are yellow, the words on Gilles white hard hat explained it all. On it was written, “Trouble Shooter”.

Il a facilement gagné le respect de ma tante Angie et de mon oncle Ken lorsque Gilles restait au dortoir d'Angie à Kingston pendant qu'elle allait à l'université. Il travaillait à quelques minutes de là sur le chantier de construction du nouvel hôpital psychiatrique de Kingston. Il partait toujours des heures avant que les étudiants universitaires ne se lèvent et arrivait plus tard dans la journée, des heures après que les étudiants universitaires soient rentrés à la maison. Angie et Ken rencontraient Gilles sur le chantier pour établir les liaisons de voyage. À plusieurs reprises, lorsque ils ont arrivés sur le site, ils ont trouvé Gilles en train de parler avec un collègue, ce qui était suivi d'un plan de plusieurs pages, ce qui a conduit le travailleur à résoudre un problème. À plusieurs reprises, s'il n'y avait pas d'autres personnes alignées pour parler avec Gilles, la conversation le conduisait à disparaître dans la jungle de la construction pour résoudre des problèmes. La plupart des casques de chantier sont jaunes, les mots sur le casque blanc de Gilles expliquent tout. Dessus il était écrit "Trouble Shooter".

The indisputable ambition and drive Papa had can be illustrated in the memory my Aunt Angie has of Gilles being able to convince her and my uncle Ken to drive down to Florida. Apparently it was a special torture test but Gilles led the way and showed them it could be done. Also, he was able to show them the fabulous times they could have together in Florida, building sandcastles, cooking the fish he caught, and Christmas caroling in Bay Pines Park. He was always up for an adventure and didn’t hesitate to take on a new challenge. My mom has great memories of traveling with Papa to Jamaica, where free drinks were much appreciated, followed by trips to the Bahamas and Puerto Villarta.
I can thank my dad for inspiring my ambition and desire for adventure. From carrying me on his shoulders, to teaching me how to make his family crepe recipe, to taking me out to the camp to teaching me how to fourwheel and snowmobile by simply throwing me on to try it for myself. My dad even taught me how to drive his pick up truck on the road into the camp. I don’t even think I was 12 years old yet, but he trusted me behind the wheel.

L'ambition et le dynamisme indiscutables de papa peuvent être illustrés dans le souvenir que ma tante Angie a de Gilles ayant réussi à la convaincre, ainsi que mon oncle Ken, de se rendre en Floride. Apparemment, c'était un test de torture spécial, mais Gilles a ouvert la voie et leur a montré que cela pouvait être fait. De plus, il a pu leur montrer les moments fabuleux qu'ils pouvaient passer ensemble en Floride, en construisant des châteaux de sable, en cuisinant le poisson qu'il pêchait et en chantant des chants de Noël à Bay Pines Park. Il était toujours partant pour l'aventure et n'hésitait pas à relever un nouveau défi. Ma mère garde d'excellents souvenirs du voyage avec papa en Jamaïque, où les boissons gratuites étaient très appréciées, suivies de voyages aux Bahamas et à Puerto Villarta.

Je peux remercier mon père d'avoir inspiré mon ambition et mon désir d'aventure. Qu'il s'agisse de me porter sur ses épaules, de m'apprendre à faire sa recette de crêpe secret, de m'emmener au camp ou de m'apprendre à faire du quad et de la motoneige en me jetant simplement dessus pour l'essayer par moi-même. Mon père m'a même appris à conduire sa camionnette sur la route du camp. Je ne pense même pas avoir encore 12 ans, mais il m'a fait confiance au volant.

While he was ambitious and adventurous he also enjoyed laying low, relaxing on the beach getting an epic suntan, or heading over to Jean Claude and Jill’s house to watch the Habs crush the Bruins and to sit and play Euchre.

Alors qu'il était ambitieux et aventureux, il aimait aussi faire profil bas, se détendre sur la plage pour un bronzage épique, ou se rendre chez Jean Claude et Jill pour regarder les Canadiens écraser les Bruins et s'asseoir et jouer à Euchre.

My dad had a bold sense of humour as well. One such example is when he won the $1000 cash prize at the Lions Club fundraiser in Flinton. When it came down to the last two contestants, he made a deal with the other person to share the prize. When he won, he took the $1000 bill and tore it in have, giving it to the runner up as promised. Apparently it was quite the scene when they had to bring both pieces of the bill into the bank to properly split the cash.

Mon père avait aussi un sens de l'humour audacieux. Un tel exemple est lorsqu'il a remporté le prix en espèces de 1 000 $ lors de la collecte de fonds du Lions Club à Flinton. En ce qui concerne les deux derniers concurrents, il a conclu un accord avec l'autre personne pour partager le prix. Quand il a gagné, il a pris le billet de 1000 $ et l'a déchiré, le donnant au finaliste comme promis. Apparemment, c'était tout à fait la scène quand ils ont dû apporter les deux pièces de la facture à la banque pour répartir correctement l'argent.

Papa was a modest man, a man of simplicity and kindness. Even in his last month of life, any time a nurse or doctor would ask him how he was feeling, he consistently repeated the words “not too bad”. Papa, I’m going to miss our weekly coffee outings, I’m even going to miss doing your laundry every week and I’m undoubtedly going to miss seeing you in your apartment window watching me drive away so you could wave goodbye to me. Papa was still waving his goodbyes in his last days, when Jean Guy came to visit for the last time, bidding him adieu with a gentle wave of his right hand.

Papa était un homme modeste, un homme de simplicité et de gentillesse. Même au cours de son dernier mois de vie, chaque fois qu'une infirmière ou un médecin lui demandait comment il se sentait, il répétait constamment les mots « pas trop mal ». Papa, nos sorties café chaque semaine va me manquer, ça va même me manquer de faire ta lessive chaque semaine et ça va sans doute manquer de te voir à la fenêtre de ton appartement en me regardant partir pour que tu puisses me dire au revoir . Papa faisait encore ses adieux dans ses derniers jours, lorsque Jean Guy vint lui rendre visite pour la dernière fois, lui disant adieu d'un doux geste de la main droite.

Sure, it’s fair to say Papa was dealt a tough deck of cards, and while he struggled with serious mental health issues, it does not define who he was and we shouldn't let it. He needs to be remembered for his ambition, his drive, his work ethic, his generosity, his humour, his warm, bright smile, his patience, his gentleness, his quiet yet content demeanor, his modesty. Gilles was a big part of all our lives and we have precious, timeless memories to prove it. In navigating this loss, it's important for us to remember how much richer our lives have been as a result of our relationship with him.

Bien sûr, il est juste de dire que papa a reçu un jeu de cartes difficile, et bien qu'il ait lutté contre de graves problèmes de santé mentale, cela ne définit pas qui il était et nous ne devrions pas le laisser faire. Il faut se souvenir de son ambition, de son dynamisme, de son éthique de travail, de sa générosité, de son humour, de son sourire chaleureux et brillant, de sa patience, de sa douceur, de son attitude calme mais satisfaite, de sa modestie. Gilles a été une grande partie de nos vies et nous avons des souvenirs précieux et intemporels pour le prouver. En traversant cette perte, il est important pour nous de nous rappeler à quel point nos vies ont été plus riches grâce à notre relation avec lui.
