Obituary of Andre Lemieux

André Lemieux, 73, passed away in his sleep, at home, on Sunday, December 6, in Charlottetown, PEI. He is survived by his wife Johanne, sons Patrick (Su-Ying), Hugo (Kathryn), Benoit (Tania), and grandchildren Alyssa, Eric, Amélie, Isabelle, Phillip, Vincent. He was a good father, husband, grandfather, and friend to many. André’s passion was reading. He read all his life. His uncanny ability with words led him to two successful careers; one as Chief Pension Advocate for Veterans Affairs Canada, which initially brought him and his family to PEI in 1984, and then as a English to French translator for the government of PEI. We would like to offer a special thanks to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital and the Provincial Home Care Service, who have provided him with extraordinarily compassionate service in the latter years of his life. Visitation will be held at the Hillsboro Funeral Home on Saturday, December 12, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. As an expression of sympathy, memorial donations to the QEH Foundation would be appreciated.
