André Pierre Aubry passed away unexpectedly at the University of Ottawa Heart Institute on January 11, 2023 at 67 years of age. He died peacefully with his family at his side. Born in Hawkesbury, Ontario, to Gabriel Aubry and Juliette Dubois, Pierre grew up in Alexandria, Ontario. He was the dearly beloved husband for forty years of Jane Dudley and the proud and loving father of Eric Aubry and father-in-law of Jessica Menard. He was the devoted and cherished grand-papa of Emma and Laura Menard-Aubry. Pierre is survived by his brothers, Jean and Richard Aubry, and his sisters, Louise Aubry, Elaine Bancroft and Claire Gorman, as well as by his sisters-in-law, Heather Aubry and Darquise Aubry. He was predeceased by his brothers-in-law, John Bancroft and Robert Gorman. Pierre will also be missed by Jane’s siblings, Moira, Jim and Shelagh Dudley, together with their partners Martin Kitamura and Elizabeth Dawson, and by many nieces and nephews.
Pierre obtained a bachelor of arts degree in political science from York University and a bachelor of laws degree from the University of Ottawa. Following his call to the bar in 1982, Pierre commenced practice with the firm of Mcdonald and Aubry (now Aubry Campbell MacLean) in Alexandria. He was a supportive member of his community and was active in many organizations over the years including the Alexandria and District Chamber of Commerce, the Lions Club, le Club Richelieu, the Liberal Party of Canada and the Liberal Party of Ontario. He sat on, and eventually chaired, the board of the Hôpital Glengarry Memorial Hospital and the board of St. Lawrence College. He also served on the Council of Regents. He was instrumental in the creation of the Glengarry Memorial Hospital Foundation and in bringing French language public education to Glengarry. Pierre’s family and friends will deeply miss his lively intellect and sense of humour, as well as his unconditional love and support.
The family would like to thank the first responders and all of the medical staff, especially the nursing staff of the University of Ottawa Heart Institute, for taking such good care of Pierre.
A celebration of Pierre’s life will be held at 1:00 p.m. on January 20, 2023 at Beechwood Funeral, Cemetery and Cremation Services, 280 Beechwood Avenue, Ottawa, Ontario. Due to limited capacity at the venue, the family will receive close friends beginning at 12:00 p.m. Those wishing to make a donation in his memory are asked to consider the Hôpital Glengarry Memorial Hospital Foundation which was so dear to his heart or to the University of Ottawa Heart Institute Foundation.

Our deepest condolences to Jane and Eric. Pierre has been the generational lawyer and friend in our parents lives, our lives and now our children's lives. His happy to chat discussions with you in the local grocery store to see how everything is going or a legal meeting on short notice, he always left you with the impression of genuine kindness and caring. We will sadly miss him on so many levels and wish you loving memories to ease your loss.

My sympathies to the family. Pierre and I became friends at Ottawa U where we played broomball on the same team. Later on we would often get together at the Lancaster Social. Rest in peace Pierre.

Quelle tristesse que Pierre soit parti si jeune. Je veux offrir mes plus sincères condoléances à son épouse Jane , son fils Éric et sa famille. Sans oublier ses frères et soeurs : Jean, Louise, Élaine, Richard et Claire. Mes souvenirs de Pierre sont surtout lorsque j'était petite fille où l'on passait Noël en famille chez tante Juliette et oncle Gaby à chaque année. Pierre continuera de vivre dans vos souvenirs et vivra à jamais dans vos coeurs .
J'aurais bien voulu être présente parmi vous à ses funérailles mais suite à un accident chez moi, j'ai une fracture de vertèbre et plusieurs autres vertèbres endommagées qui m'empêchent d'être assise plus de 20 minutes. Je serai donc en pensée avec vous !
Repose en paix Pierre

I was very saddened to learn of Pierre's passing. I first met Pierre at the Land Registry Office. He was one of our regular client. It was always a pleasure to see Pierre walk into the office. He was always very pleasant. My deepest sympathy to Jane, Eric & the family. Pierre was a generous, friendly & kind person. A great loss for the community & his family. He will be greatly missed.
Mes sincères condoléances à mes cousins et cousines, Jean, Richard, Louise, Elaine, Claire ainsi qu’à sa conjointe Jane et son fils Eric. Malheureusement, je ne pourrai être présente le jour des funérailles mais je serai avec vous en pensée. Bon voyage Pierre .
