Lisa Malboeuf. Love you all. Bob passed 4/27/2023
To our dear friend that was taken too soon. We will forever miss your time spent with us at the lake. We know you will be with us in spirit. Your pain is gone now go be with the Lord.
Love you,
Gary & Denise LaPorte
I am incredibly sad that we didn’t have more time with the Uncle we just found and grateful that we found him and got to meet him at all.
All of my love to his wonderful family, Aunt Sandy, Kristi, Treva, Seth and Todd.
Daddy, I've had 5 years to prepare myself for this, and yet I can't believe I am never going to hear you say, "Hello my Muffin!" ever again and wait for me to hug you before anyone else. You LIVED life SO fully! You loved harder then anyone I've known. In fact, all the human emotions you experienced more: You laughed harder, you yelled louder (back in your younger days before your temper softened so), you grieved harder. You over-enjoyed delicious food, delighted in even the tiniest details of the holidays, and planned for vacations with more excitement than a child. You were sentimental and everything special was VERY special to you. You loved being a husband and a dad and a son and a brother. You loved your family so much that you couldn't bear even the thought of leaving us. You FOUGHT stronger, stronger than anyone ever because you died just as you lived. I would have given anything at all in the world or my heart for you to have survived cancer. Sometimes I can barely stand to think, "what if you bargained your life for mine, when I was sick?". It's something you would have absolutely prayed for, you were that fierce of a protector and provider. You, who offered your suffering to God with prayers that in exchange He would heal a sick child with cancer. How does the world even go on without such a force as you? You were Daddy, you were Chief, you were the dreamer, the planner, the dominant personality of every thing you've ever done, every place you've ever been, every event we've ever had. And yet, in my experience and in what I've read so many hundreds of people have written about you, you did with empathy, compassion, respect, and manners. You had strong opinions on just about everything, that you were not afraid to share! But, I don't think there was ever a time when you were not there for, or did not support any of us, no matter what choices we may have made. I was definitely a Daddy's girl. I definitely ended up with more of your characteristics than Mom's. We both had pretty strong personalities before age, time, and Christ mellowed us out and I wish there was never a teenage stage where we butted heads. But you never held any of that against me! (In fact, you never held anything against anyone. I can testify that you went to the Lord with NO unforgiveness in your heart for anybody!) I'm so grateful that since I am grown you and I had a daddy-daughter relationship that you and I were both so proud of. If I was ever ashamed of some of our shared traits- my impulsiveness, explosiveness, stubbornness, sarcasticness, lack of tact (let's just stop the list here...), I'm beyond honored that you instilled in me your morals, ethics, honesty, integrity, loyalty, strength, faith, eternal optimism, sense of humor, charity, compassion, love, finding the good in people, inability to hold a grudge, childlike awe of certain things,- even your love of Jeopardy! The list of your goodness and accomplishments is too long for this post. And you were so proud of Willie! I will never forget the beginning, when someone asked you about the new man in your daughter's life-if you liked him, and you replied, "just waiting on the ring!" so out of character for you because nobody was ever good enough for your little girl and I'd already been through so much, but so much alike, the two of you bonded straight away from the first day you met him. Even before we started dating, you had told mom he was the guy you would pick for me. I know it made it, if only a tiny bit, easier for you to leave, knowing I was in such good hands of a man you loved so much. Speaking of leaving...My biggest heartbreak is how much you wanted to stay with us. I don't think I will ever make it through the rest of my life without the pain of thinking how much you must have been grieving. The Hospice books said there were two paths of your journey. The easy path and the difficult one. Your loving daughter, Titi-Weez <3
We would like to express our condolences to the Nadreau Family on the loss of your beloved Husband, Father, Grandfather Lou.
