He passed away peacefully at home with his loving wife and daughter by his side. Beloved husband of Arlene (Hutcheson), daughters Denise Lafontaine and Lise Lafontaine and son Guy Lafontaine. Beloved grandfather of Melissa Hall and Corey Hall, great grandfather of Hudson and Jack, brother of Michel Lafontaine and Helen Blais. He will sadly be missed by his nieces, nephews, cousins, sister-in-laws and many many many friends.
Rene was a hard worker, a jack of all trades and would never quit until the job was done. He always knew how to make people laugh especially with his silly sayings (Holy Macaroni, Hairy Canary and many more) He enjoyed travelling in his RV, fishing, snowmobiling and spending time with his great grandchildren.
Rene's family would like to thank the incredible staff of the palliative care unit of Bayshore HealthCare and the Champlain Home and Community Care Services for their kindness and care.
There will be no memorial upon the wish of Rene but donations can go to the Ottawa Heart Institute.
"Gone from our sight but never from our Hearts "
