Uncle Fred always had a smile on every time I saw him. I always will remember uncle Fred with his cleft in his chin. I have been told mine comes from the Picard side of the family. If that is so, he was the king. - Posted by: Jean-Louis Lamoureux (nephew) on: Sep 26, 2014

Alfred known as Fred is a gentle caring soul whose energy keeps going to accomplish what he would have loved to do while on this earth. He always made you feel good about yourself. When I was young going out with the gang made sure mom knew that he was looking afer me not to worry. The life of the party with his endless jokes again making everybody feel good. Though I did not visit as often as I would have liked I still felt close to him and will miss his physical presence. I`m sure God feels good with him around may he enjoy his well deserved place. God bless as we all love him dearly, Henriette - Posted by: Henriette Lamoureux (brother) on: Sep 21, 2014
