- (Paul) Roger Gallant 1934-2023
It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of Roger, born in Moncton, New Brunswick, to the late Stella Cormier and Gérard Dominique Gallant. He was the beloved husband of the late Florence (LeBlanc) Gallant (2009). He passed away on November 1, 2023, at the age of 89.
He leaves to mourn his two daughters: Lise Gallant (Martin Héroux) and Andrée Gallant (René Kokenberg); his Martel-Gallant grandchildren: Frédérique (Yann Morin Perrin), Guillaume (Christal Bouchard), Laurence (Simon Codère); his Kokenberg-Gallant grandchildren: Cassandra (Devin McArthur) and Laila; Justine and Magalie Héroux, daughters of Martin, Lise's husband. He is also survived by his 5 great-grandchildren, his great reason for living in recent years: Benjamin and Béatrice Perrin, William and Charles Martel and Thomas Codère.
He also leaves to mourn his sister-in-law Jeanette LeBlanc, his nieces and nephew; Valérie, Denise and Mark, as well as numerous cousins, very good friends and former Air Canada colleagues (PR, pronounced in English for the latter). Roger will be remembered for his joie de vivre, his good humour, his human side and for being the best Papy and Grand-Papy in the world!
Bon voyage Papa, Papy and Grand-Papy Roger, you're finally with your beloved Florence. We miss you, but you will live forever in our hearts.
A celebration of life will be held in the spring of 2024. Relatives and friends will be personally informed of the date and location of this memorial service. Her ashes have been placed alongside those of Florence at Urgel Bourgie Gardens in Montreal.

Dad didn't die of cancer, but he fought and survived two cancers (leukemia 2006 and colon 2011) thanks to the research that helps fight this horrible disease.
