My most sincere condolences to Barbara, Lynn, Steven, Vincent and Catherine on the passing of Yvon. Covid kept all his friends and most of his family from visiting him these past few years but he was not forgotten then or now. We had many happy and fun filled times on our K of C outings, coffees at the Mall etc. I will remember Yvon as a good friend and a man with a big heart, generous and compassionate. May the good Lord bless and keep him, may He make His face to shine upon him and grant him eternal rest and peace. Pat Chura

I have very fond memories of working with him at the Louis St Laurent Building. His enthusiastic approach to everything he did was infectious. I am so sorry for your loss.

Dear Barbara, Lynn, and the Cote family, please accept my sincere condolences on the passing of Yvon. I have known Yvon for the past 26 years as a friend and neighbor. He was a pleasant and friendly man and easy to talk to. He would extend a helping hand to anyone who asked.
He will be sorely missed by all that knew him.
Warmest regards,
Tom Tomaso

Il y a quelque chose de plus fort que la mort, c'est la présence des absents dans la mémoire des vivants.

Je vous présente mes sincères condoléances.
