C'est avec un très grand chagrin que nous annonçons le décès de Pierre L'Abbée, décédé en Mars 2022 à l'âge de 76 ans.
Pierre va être beaucoup manqué par la mère de ses enfants et amie Mercédès;
ses enfants Sylvain (Lynne), Manon (Mitch), Chantal (Rob), ses petits enfants Matt, Sandie, Brandon, Vanessa, Bryana ainsi  que ses arrière petits enfants Sawyer, Noa, Tiana et Kaia.
Il sera manqué aussi par de nombreux membres de la famille et amis.

Pierre est pré-décédé par son père Lucien, sa mère Carmen, sa soeur Lise et ses frères Gilles et Jacques.
Il est né à Montréal le 6 Septembre 1945.  Il a travaillé à Union Carbide de 1971 jusqu'à sa retraite à 53 ans. 
Il a demeuré au Québec, Algérie, Alberta, Colombie Britannique et finalement s'est réinstallé à Laval de façon permanente en 2004. 
Pendant son emploi à Union Carbide il fut des travaux en Égypte,  Kuwait et à travers les États-Unis.
Grâce à lui, ses enfants ont eu des expériences magnifiques où ils ont habité, entre autre,  l'Algérie, l'Espagne, Genève et le Maroque.
Pierre était un homme généreux, un touche-à-tout, avec une soif d'apprendre. Bilingue en Français et Anglais, il était aussi fluide en Espagnol.
Il s'était procuré un piano pour apprendre à en jouer.
Il avait un bon sens de l'humour et était une mine d'informations. Il pouvait parler de tout. À n'importe qui. De n'importe quoi. 
Nous nous souviendrons de Pierre comme étant charmeur, solitaire et d'une organisation impeccable.
Son sourire, sa sagesse dans les moments difficiles, sa disponibilité sans limite et son rire de bon cœur vont manquer à tous.

Une messe en son honneur aura lieu à l'Église St Joseph à Rivière-des-Prairies, le 26 Mars 2022, à 14:30 pm.
Il sera ensuite déposé au cimetière.

It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Pierre L'Abbée, in March 2022 at the age of 76. Pierre will be greatly missed by the mother of his children and friend Mercédès, his children Sylvain (Lynne), Manon (Mitch), Chantal (Rob), his grandchildren Matt, Sandie, Brandon, Vanessa, Bryana as well as his great grandchildren Sawyer, Noa, Tiana and Kaia. He will also be missed by many family members and friends.

Pierre is predeceased by his father Lucien, his mother Carmen, his sister Lise and his brothers Gilles and Jacques.

Pierre was born in Montreal on September 6, 1945. He worked at Union Carbide from 1971 until his retirement at age 53. He has lived in Quebec, Algeria, Alberta, British Columbia and finally moved back to Laval permanently in 2004. While employed at Union Carbide he was employed in Egypt, Kuwait and throughout the United States. Thanks to him, his children had magnificent experiences where they lived in Algeria, visited Spain, Geneva and Morocco. Pierre was a generous man, a jack-of-all-trades, with a thirst for learning. Bilingual in French and English, He was also fluent in Spanish. He had bought a piano to learn to play. He had a good sense of humor, and was a wealth of information. He could talk about anything. To anyone. Of anything. Charming, solitary and of impeccable organization, his smile, his wisdom in difficult times, his unlimited availability and his good-hearted laughter will be greatly missed by all.

A mass in his honor will be held at St Joseph Church in Rivière-des-Prairies on March 26 at 2:30 pm. Pierre was an altar boy at this church, sang in the choir and was part of the local brass band and cadets.

He will then be laid to rest in the cemetery.

James Russell Lees (Russ), 64 years old, passed away on January 4th 2022, in Montréal, Québec, Canada.

Russ was born to parents Jay Lees (known as Grandpa Bumps) and Patrica Lees (known as Poppy) in Salt Lake City, Utah.

As a fourteen year old, he was exposed to culture due to his father, who managed to get an entire family of six to France for a year. It was there that Russ learned French and developed a love for travel.

As a teen, he left Salt Lake City to pursue engineering at Boston University and went on to Stanford University before entering the working world. Upon entering the working world, he quickly realized he didn’t like engineering and chose to pursue playwriting. While in the theatrical space he had many adventures all over the world. He studied plays in London, helped direct, acted, and spent lots of time writing in cafés. Eventually he went back to Boston University to get his master’s in playwriting.

The “golden age of Russ” as he called it, was when his play about Richard Nixon, “Nixon’s Nixon”, took off and toured around the world. It won a First in the Edinburgh Fringe Festival which allowed him to take it to London and New York.

His second golden age was when his daughters were born and he got to achieve his dream of being a father.

He was an excellent father who gave his love to his daughters freely and unconditionally. His daughters always, always had fun with him. He was incredibly smart and helped his daughters with homework frequently. He was the funniest person in the room, always making quips and jokes. Russ made sure to bring his daughters to many plays whenever he could and Charlotte was lucky enough to see “Nixon’s Nixon” in person with him. He was the best Dad anyone could ask for and he will be dearly missed.

Russ spent the last 13 years working at Ubisoft Montreal, a video game developer. He was a writer/narrative designer and part of the Assassin's Creed and Far Cry franchises. He brought passion, dedication, and collaboration to all of his Ubisoft projects.

In the two weeks before his death he was surrounded by his family for the holidays and enjoyed a magical Christmas spending time with his wife and daughters. He read to his youngest, Madeleine, in French every night before they went to bed. Russ was relaxed and happy during his holiday break.

The night he passed he had a lovely meal with his daughter, Charlotte, and watched a Jazz basketball game (his favourite team) while eating pistachio ice cream. The Jazz won.

He is survived by his loving wife, Lisa Lees, and daughters, Charlotte and Madeleine Lees. He will be held in our hearts forever.
