Marcel Lafrance
It is with sadness that we announce the passing of Mr. Marcel Lafrance, husband of the late Aline Malo, on December 10, 2023, at the age of 88. In addition to his wife, he will join his beloved son, the late André Lafrance, in eternal rest.
He is survived by his son Yves Lafrance (Xenia Vruvides), daughter-in-law Lucie Robitaille (Pierre Caya), granddaughters Andréanne Lafrance (Antoine Goethals), Gabrielle Lafrance (Michael Raposo) and Elyana Lafrance, great-granddaughter Maya Goethals Lafrance, sister Muguette Lafrance (late Raymond Turcotte), sisters-in-law Lise (late Yvon Mérette), Mariette (late Normand Campeau) and Thérèse (late Jean Viau), as well as many relatives and friends.
The family would like to thank Dr. Amélie Gravel and Dr. Vincent Michaud, the nurses at the CLSC de Verdun and the staff at HUMA, services d'aide spécialisés for their loving care of Marcel.
The family will receive condolences on Monday, December 18, 2023 from 2 to 8 p.m. at the Urgel Bourgie / Athos Funeral Complex, 8145 chemin de Chambly in St-Hubert, and on Tuesday, December 19, 2023 from 9 a.m. at the Co-Cathedral Saint-Antoine-de-Padoue (intersection of Chemin de Chambly and rue St-Charles in Longueuil). Funeral services will be held at 10 a.m. in the Co-Cathédrale Saint-Antoine-de-Padoue.
An engineer who graduated from Polytechnique de Montréal in 1960, Marcel worked for 25 years in shipbuilding and repair. Starting out at Marine Industrie de Sorel, he joined forces with three colleagues to acquire Chantiers Davie de Lauzon in 1976. After selling the shipyard to Dome Petroleum of Calgary in 1981, Marcel continued to manage the company as President until his retirement in August 1984.
He then went on to manage a financial management company, Gestion M&A Lafrance Inc. As a mentor, he spent 15 years as a volunteer, notably with the Fondation de l'Entrepreneurship du Québec. For many years, he sat on a number of boards of directors, including Gestion FÉRIQUE. In February 2002, he published a book entitled Mentors Wanted.
