LAROCHELLE, Remi

(July 25th 1950 – July 12th 2018) - Remi passed away peacefully surrounded by his loving family at the Health Sciences North after a brief illness.  Beloved husband of Jacklyn (Francis) and loving father to Jody (Terry Leszczak).  Remi also leaves behind his sister Colette (Victor Thibeault) of Kitchener.  Favorite uncle to Carole Pajuluoma (Rick), Carmen Johnston (Ken), Matthew Francis (Candace) and Scott Francis (Lisa).  He will be missed by many great-nieces and great-nephews, friends, family and Lucy.  Predeceased by his parents Andre and Jeanette Pellerin and a sister Denise.   

His quick wit and sense of humor will be missed by all who knew him. Remi will be remembered as a generous and hardworking man, who always kept busy in the garage. Family will be forever grateful for his love and support he always showed.

Special thanks to our loving family; Mark and Nancy Francis and the Leszczak's and to our dear friends Barry and Jean Backer, Rick and Shawn Britton and Ernie, Nancy and Rylee Reese for their love and support.

Family are receiving friends for a visitation on Tuesday July 17th 2018 from 1 until 3 pm at HILLSIDE FUNERAL SERVICES, 362 Airport Rd.  A big thank you to all the nurses and doctors who helped care for Remi during his stay at both the North Bay Regional Health Center and Health Science North.
