“If you knew him you loved him.” It is with great sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of Hilaire Picard on May 21, 2021. Hilaire was born on August 20, 1934 into a large French-Canadian family and lived most of his life in Northern Ontario. Most of his career was spent in the forest industry as a true lumberjack. When he could no longer do that work, he became a skilled carpenter making cabinets and furniture for friends and family. He was a jack of all trades and could fix anything. Dad loved the outdoors and took his family camping every weekend. Dad’s real pride and joy was when he purchased the family camp at Dog Lake. By doing so he was able to keep his growing family together and that is what truly made him happy. His joy was watching everyone else have fun. The memories created at the lake will never be forgotten. Thank you, dad for doing that for us.
