Obituary
It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Roger Tassé, residing in Bourget, Ontario. Roger passed away on Monday, June 19, 2023 at the age of 87. Son of the late Zénon Tassé and the late Blanche Lortie, he is survived by his wife for the past 34 years, Bibiane Giroux, who took care of him, despite her handicap (MS/SP) until the last day of her life; what a gesture of love and kindness!
He also leaves his two children, Daniel (Sylvie Dumas) and Christine (Pierre Thibaudeau) as well as 7 grandchildren: Valérie Thibaudeau (Casey Shipman), Sébastien Tassé (Tricia Carleton-Tassé), Mélissa Tassé, Jocelyn Tassé (Alexa Tassé), Anika Thibaudeau, Gabriel Tassé (Stéphanie Lauzon), Danny Thibaudeau and 4 great-grandchildren. He was predeceased by his sisters and brothers: Gisèle, Micheline, Claude and Armand. He is survived by his sister Suzanne and his brother Paul. He also leaves to mourn the mother of his children, Colette, and the entire family of Emile Lepage d’Embrun, as well as the family of Edgar and Annette Giroux.
Roger had a full and very interesting life… he was first a federal civil servant and member of the CGA as auditor accountant, business manager and founding member of the National University of Rwanda in Central Africa; he had the chance to visit several countries in Africa, the Caribbean, South America and Europe as a consultant for the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA). He retired in 1987 to operate a small hobby farm where he bred small miniature horses. In addition, he provided his native village with housing for the elderly. He finally participated in the realization of a beautiful little columbarium in the cemetery of Bourget.
A celebration will be held privately.
