Born in Fall River, he was the son of the late Jean and Aurelia (Bonnoyer) Thibault.

A proud veteran of the United States Army, he served as a Combat Engineer during World War II. Prior to retiring in 1986, he worked in the Maintenance Department at Sagamore Mill as well as Paroma Drapery Mill for 30 years.

A longtime member of the Red Cross, he was also a member of St. Michael’s St. Vincent de Paul Society and the Salvation Army. An avid walker, he enjoyed tending to his vegetable garden and doing odd jobs for family, friends and neighbors.
