Jean-Marc worked in his younger years doing mechanical work at I.N.C.O then retired from the Greater City of Sudbury, he was a very proud and dedicated Volunteer Firefighter in Valley East. He enjoyed hunting and fishing, or as he would call it “drowning minnows”. Jean-Marc considered both Sudbury and Manitoulin Island his home as he would spend many days at Stanley Park on Lake Mindemoya and at his cousin Ron’s camp where he always felt welcome. He shared many funny and memorable moments with his close friends and family restoring “the bus” into a camper for all to enjoy. The family would like to thank everyone for their kindness and support especially close friends Annette and Roger Barriault, cousins Ron, Dan, Diane and Larry.
