After spending several years in the Canadian army, he had a long career with Star Transfer in Kapuskasing, followed by owning his successful saw sharpening business. He loved spending time at Lake Saganash with his friends and family. Later in life, he enjoyed long trips with his wife and quality time with his family. He was an avid reader, weaver and loved watching hockey.

He is also survived by many sisters and brothers in law and nieces and nephews whom he cherished dearly. He was predeceased by his parents Philippe and Jeanne Tailleur; two sisters: Jeannine Tailleur and Jeannine McIndoe; three brothers: Luc, Robert and Roland. A family service will be held at Lahaie & Sullivan Funeral Home (West Branch) at 20 Seventh Street West on Thursday, Sept 17th at 10:30 a.m. RSVP with family due to the pandemic.
