"Ponch" grew up in the surrounding area farming with his dad and his younger brother Roger. Later on he started his business MVP Contracting Limited. His greatest loves were his family and friends who were always welcomed in his house or his cabin in Lac Du Bonnet, the two places you could always find him.

I have only known Marcel for a couple short years, he leaves a positive impression on people. It was a pleasure to do business with MVP and Marcel, you could tell he was a man of integrity and it was always a pleasure to deal with him, and his positive attitude helped in stressful situations. Marcel will be missed by myself and the group that I work with. - Posted by: Kevin Kaluzny (MVP customer, friend of Marcel) on: May 04, 2016
