Roger Albert Lemieux

LEMIEUX, Roger A. (Colomb)– Peacefully with his family at his side at the Glen Stor Dun Lodge, Cornwall on Tuesday March 26, 2019 at the age of 84 years.  Loving brother of Pierrette Patenaude (Denis), and Bob Lemieux (Nicole). Dear friend and loving companion of Elaine Malott.  Predeceased by his parents Albert and Berthe (née Cusson) Lemieux and by his sister Alyne Lemieux.  As a teenager Roger was a fast and strong swimmer, a perennial winner of The St. Lawrence Cross River Swim and of the 200-yard dash.  In his twenties, he became a millwright, modernizing mills in Newfoundland and New Brunswick.  In his thirties he brought his trade skills to the assembly lines of the automotive industry starting with electromechanical installations and advancing all the way to computerized robotic installations.  Throughout his life he always made room for lifting weights and body building exercises.  Retirement offered him the opportunity to spend more time in his weight room and he kept this up into his eighties.  He could be different, he could be committed, and always had a story to tell. Roger will be greatly missed by many nieces, nephews, family and friends.  In keeping with his wishes, cremation has already taken place and there will be no visitation.  If so desired contributions in his memory to the charity of your choice would be appreciated by the family.   Funeral arrangements entrusted to Wilson Funeral Home – Boulerice Centre 218 Montreal Road, Cornwall.
