BROCHU, Marcel Paul - Passed away unexpectedly on Sunday, February 7, 2021, at the age of 84.
The only child of Emile N. Brochu and Lina Cote, Marcel was born in Willimantic, CT.
He leaves behind his wife of 41 years, Norah Brochu (O’Leary); his children Diane (Paul), Carol (Wayne), Lynn (Robin), Lisa (Steve), Christine (Brian), Susan (Hein) and David (Jacqueline); his grandchildren the late Mandy, Dawn (Ryan), Jeremy (Nikki), Evan, Aimee, Emily (Josh), Robert, Michael, Brigitte, Sophie and MacKenzie and great grandchildren Mylee and John.
He was raised in a French-Canadian culture in an American background, before moving to Canada in 1970.
He had a never-ending sense of adventure and travelled with his wife, making it to all corners of the world! He once co-owned a racehorse and loved to send us updates.
His love of Fritos was a long-standing family joke! In his later years, he welcomed two fur babies, Perri and Pearl, his beloved little dogs.
Dad will be sadly missed by all who knew him.
Memorial donations would be appreciated to the Canadian Coalition for Seniors’ Mental Health or The Rotman Research Institute at Baycrest Centre.
