Augustin, fondly known as grand-père to us, and Gut to most others, fought a long hard battle until his very last breath. And despite his long illness with COPD, he showed great strength and determination over these past years!
Augustin worked in the fishing industry for most of his career and always showed exemplary work ethics. He took pride in what he did, both on the job and at home. After a long day’s work, he spent many evenings/days out in the yard, either working in his green house or in his garden. When he wasn’t puttering around the yard, you could find him in his "shed". He loved his tools and he and his wife Norma spent numerous hours together working on woodworking projects.
What stood out the most is that he truly enjoyed talking to people! No matter where he was and who was around, he loved striking up conversations. His sense of humor was also appreciated and often unexpected! In fact, he still had a few funny comments to share during his last days.
He also adored his grandkids! He loved them dearly and was very proud of the wonderful young adults they’ve all become.
Throughout his illness, his wife Norma was his primary caregiver. She was his rock and we are all so thankful for her dedication, hard work and commitment to ensuring he was taken care of with the utmost love, care and compassion. He was truly blessed to have her and acknowledged this on so many occasions. Her unwavering dedication is truly something to admire and we are all so thankful and proud!
Grand-père, you will be missed dearly!
