LUCIEN (LOU) COLLOT
June 9, 1933 – April 7,
2014
It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of my beloved husband, our Dad, Pep, Great Grand Dad, Uncle and best friend Monday, April 7, 2014. He passed away at home in the arms of his wife of 30 years knowing he was well loved.
Lou is also survived by his two daughters Cathy (Brad) of Abbotsford, BC and Sandra of Winnipeg; four grandchildren Tabatha (Brent), Tiffany (Marc), Robbie (Trish), Joshua; two great grandchildren Grey and Colton; brother in law Jim; nieces Chris (Wayne), Anne-Marie (Peter); nephew Jay (Carrie); grandniece Sara (Allen), grandnephew Jimmy of Trenton, ON; Joan’s two daughters Kim and Leah, grandchildren Kyle, Natalie and Ryan; Joan’s brother Don Farmer (Brenda) Beverly; niece Heather (Bryan); grandnephew Logan and longtime Red Top friend Aurel and wife Diane and family Liane and Patrick of Lorette, MB; and many other best friends. He was predeceased by his parents Simone and Jules Collot; sister Claudette and his first wife Jan.
Lou was born in Manage, Belgium and was schooled by the Nuns. Oh how he could tell stories of when he was young. He came to Canada with his family when he was 18 and worked at various labour jobs while he learned English. Lou worked as a milk-man and then as a salesman for ID Foods. He was known as “The Distinguished Salesman”. He loved his co-workers, clients and travelling “On the Road Again”.
We travelled to various parts of Canada and the USA but he especially loved Lake of the Woods. Lou also found great pleasure from his dogs Lady Suzie, little Lady Buffie 6, Princess Pebbles and Prince Nipper.
We would like to thank Dr. Lee Cummings, Lanka, Steve, Caitlin and Clo of Meadowood Clinic, Meno of RANA Group, all the palliative care nurses Kris, Olga, Andy, Judy, Debra, etc. that were so kind and caring and made it possible for Lou’s wish to pass away at home. Also a special thanks to Aurel, Diane, and family, and Bev, Heather, Bryan, Logan and Leah who made Lou’s days happy and filled with love.
In compliance with Lou’s wishes, a private family gathering will be held at his Interment.
In lieu of flowers, family and friends may choose to donate to a charity of choice.
