Though our hearts are heavy, we rejoice knowing that after eleven months apart, they are peacefully reunited in the arms of our Lord.
Born in Scoudouc, he was the son of the late Albénie and the late Velma (Gaudet) Bourque.
Maurice worked for many years at West-Wood Industries Inc, where he developed his passion and love for working with wood. He had his own little woodworking shed, filled with his tools and projects, where he spent countless hours creating things with his hands. He especially enjoyed making decorative wooden snowmen, Christmas outdoor stockings, and other seasonal decorations. His little shed was a special place where his creativity came to life, and his handmade creations brought joy to those around him.
