Mr. Menard was a very kind and caring man who I remember very well from Robert Smith School. He went out of his way to help the kids when needed. He always remembered my name long after my school days and it was always a pleasure to run into him. My condolences to his family as I know he will be missed! - Posted by: Trish Sinclair (Stefanson) () on: Jul 29, 2017
