André MORIN

1928-2024 April 7, 2024

C’est le 7 avril 2024 que mon petit papa d’amour André Morin nous a quitté à l’âge de 95 ans. Il laisse derrière lui son épouse de plus de 61 ans Lilianne Beaudry, sa fille Michelle (Garry), sa petite fille Jade, ses sœurs Claire et Lise et de nombreux neveux et nièces.

 

André a eu une belle vie, vétéran de la guerre de Corée pour ensuite aller vivre un an au Japon, de retour à Montréal il a acheté sa première voiture ne sachant même pas conduire, comme c’était différent dans les années 50… Il a ensuite travaillé au très chic club EL Morocco sur la rue Lambert-Closse à Montréal ou il a fait la rencontre de plusieurs artistes donc Charlton Heston et Tony Bennett.

 

Dans les années 70, 80 et 90 il a travaillé comme représentant sur la route, un bel emploi pour un homme avec autant de charme.

 

Beau papa d’amour repose en paix et va faire la fête avec tes frères et sœurs en haut sans oublier tes amis qui sont tous partis avant toi…

 

La famille célébrera sa vie en toute intimité, il n’y aura pas de service.

 




On April 7, 2024 my beautiful dad André Morin left us at the age of 95. He leaves behind his wife of 61 years Lilianne Beaudry, his daughter Michelle (Garry), his granddaughter Jade, his sisters Claire and Lise and many nephews and nieces.

 

André had a good life, a veteran of the Korean War and then went to live in Japan for a year, back in Montreal he bought his first car not even knowing how to drive, as it was different in the 1950s... He then worked at the very chic EL Morocco club on Lambert-Closse Street in Montreal where he met several artists including Charlton Heston and Tony Bennett.

 

In the 70s, 80s and 90s he worked as a representative on the road, a beautiful job for a man with so much charm.

 

Rest in peace my beautiful dad and go party with your brothers and sisters upstairs without forgetting your friends who all left before you...

 

The family will celebrate his life in complete privacy, there will be no service.
