GADOURY, Rene Adrien Joseph "Frenchie" (Dofasco retiree)

It is with profound sadness we announce the passing of our husband, father and grandfather, on Tuesday, September 5, 2017. His journey ended at the Hamilton General Hospital, at the age of 74, with his loving family by his side. He was the beloved husband for over 53 years to Nancy (nee Adams). Proud and much loved awesome dad to Jeannine and Yvonne and her husband Felix Guzman. Devoted and loving "Da" of Kia Angelique and Amylou Renee (in Heaven) and Fernando, Lukas, Peter and Ben. Dear brother and brother-in-law of Fern Robitaille (the late Réal), Gerard (Georgette), John Adams (Catharine), Craig Lomax (Mary Jancar); and predeceased by his brothers Felix, Louis and sister Jeannine Boisclair (the late Aurele). Forever remembered by his nieces, nephews, relatives, friends and neighbours; especially Cal, a neighbour who continues to go above and beyond. Rene loved his friends, his garden "Porta Backyarda", traveling and above all his family. A sincere heartfelt thank you to the VON for their exceptional care and compassion.
