A PRIVATE FUNERAL

Jacques’ funeral arrangements have been delayed because of a family wedding last Friday.

Originally, Jacques had planned that his commemorative service be held in Toronto before his funeral in Chatham. However, as his passing occurred in July when many of his Toronto friends are on holiday, it only made sense to proceed with the funeral first and then arrange a commemorative gathering in Toronto later.

Jacques had hoped that the funeral in Pain Court would be a private family affair. In fact, one of his final wishes was that the funeral Mass be conducted in French.

The family trusts that all of his Toronto friends will respect Jacques’ request for a private funeral in his home town. His family is very appreciative of your prayerful support over these past few months and are most gratified to read kind words of condolence from so many of their brother’s former students, colleagues and friends.

Know that they are looking forward to meeting you at Jacques’ commemorative service which will take place in August. Details to follow as they become available.
