It is with sadness that we announce the passing of Michael McCormack at the age of 90. He was predeceased by his parents John Lawrence and Edith (née Désilets) and his sister Andrée (Tom).

He leaves behind his devoted wife of 65 years, Raymonde (née Lafrenière) and his four children Anne (Jean François), Louise (François), Kevin (Kelly) and Steve (Dubravka); his nine grandchildren Alexandra (Ken), Julie (Alexander), Philippe (Sabrina), Pierre (Gabrielle), Olivier (Kendyl), Sarah (Nicholas), Matthew (Avery), Zoe (Zach) and Ryan (Rahma); as well as six precious great-grandchildren, Théo, Élodie Rae, Charlotte, William, Amélia and William Michael; his sisters Helene, Patricia and Kathleen (Ron); his brother-in- law Raymond (Barbara) and sister-in-law Colette as well as many nieces and nephews.

He was also predeceased by brothers/sisters-in-law George, Jeannine (Maurice), Jean-Paul (Rose), Liette (Paul), Maurice, Denise (Réal) and Claude.

Michael grew up on Celanese Square in Drummondville before heading off to St. Pat’s high school in Ottawa. After obtaining his chemical engineering degree at McGill, Michael began working at Anglo-Canadian Pulp and Paper Mills (later Reed and Daishowa) in Quebec City. Following 30 years at the mill Michael spent his retirement years wearing many different hats within the English-speaking community of Quebec City.

We wish to thank the third-floor staff at Calla for their care, understanding and patience; the staff at Appartements de Bordeaux; and the Jeffrey Hale CLSC.

A funeral will be held for immediate family only.

If desired, a donation to the Alzheimer’s Society of Canada in Michael’s name would be greatly appreciated.
