YVON DOUCET
Yvon will be deeply missed by his loving wife of 35 years, Louise Doucet (nee Haché), and his beloved son Richard.
Yvon leaves to mourn his parents, Alcide and Doris Doucet; his brothers, Dave (France) from Bathurst, and Gilles (Julia) from Dieppe; his nephews and nieces, his brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law, and many friends.
Yvon worked for the Canadian National Railway for 37 years. He retired in May 2012.
While he wasn't busy making other people laugh, Yvon enjoyed playing sports. His favourite sports included tennis, hockey, baseball and curling. After retirement, all his attention turned to pickleball where he played daily and competed in numerous tournaments. He also enjoyed his annual fishing trips with close friends.
Yvon was proud to be Acadian. Every year he made sure to make a trip back to his hometown in order to visit his family and friends, and enjoy some fresh lobster.
The funeral service will take place in Bathurst, New Brunswick on January 17, 2020.

To Louise & Richard, So sorry to hear of Yvon's passing. Yvon was a good friend to all he met, and we loved his sense of humor, a great guy to spend with. It's hard to hear of the passing of another "Moncton Exile". You will be in our thoughts. Linda & Peter - Posted by: Linda and Peter Firth (Neighbours and friends) on: Jan 14, 2020

Louise & Richard - My deepest sympathies for your loss. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. I'm so sorry to hear of Yvon's passing. I sure enjoyed my time working with Yvon in the eBusiness Department. He was a great person to work with. We had many good laughs over the years. Yvon was more than just a co-worker he was a friend. He will be missed. Yvon, I still dip my lobster in garlic butter. R.I.P. good friend! - Posted by: Gary Chabluk (Co-worker) on: Jan 11, 2020
