My condolences to the Côté family. I knew Yvon to be a happy and loving man. He was like an uncle to me and like a brother to my father. A visit to the Côté household meant hugs and laughter and a great meal. I’m still full from the amazing fried eggs in maple syrup he made for me once. He will be remembered as a man full of love for those who were lucky to know him and he will be remembered for his loyal and faithful service to Canada.
Yvon, say hi to dad for me.
Love and hugs to Lynn, Barbara, Steven and the Côté extended family.
