We will all miss his funny sense of humour and his endless blonde jokes. Remi retired as a truck driver from Chrysler after many years of service. While wintering in Florida, Remi found his love of woodworking where he hand-crafted many items such as bowls, pens, lamps, cutting boards, and many more personalized items, over the years. The family would like to thank the staff and volunteers of Erie Shores Hospice for all their dedicated care and compassion. At Remi’s request, cremation has taken place.
