At the end of the day, it’s our memories that will keep us going when we lose a loved one. Both Owen and I have many good memories of your dad. Our parents are all together again, singing a few songs with dad on the squeezebox! Rest In Peace, “Pal Al”.
All of the Robichaud’s are family to me. The countless gatherings at your Kingston Rd house and having lunch there every Wednesday as a child fill me with fond warm memories. Sending love to you all as well as big silent hugs from afar xo
Cant think of the Robichauds and not see that big house on Kingston Rd. Beautiful family with so many fond memories. So sorry for your loss. Sending prayers and hugs to you all xoxoxo
Have so many fond memories of the robichaud family and all the big gatherings and the old house … May your dad Rest In Peace . Stay strong and know you are in my prayers. Hugs to everyone
My heart is breaking for you all. So many wonderful memories from your old house on Woodbine, basically in our backyard and of course from 118 Kingston Rd. The Robichaud family will always hold a special place in my heart and will always be our family. Our parents are having one hell of a party! Love you all. ❤️
To My Cousins, their Families and my sister Louise,
My condolences on the passing of your father, my Uncle Al. He was also a 2nd father to Louise. Take comfort that he is no longer suffering and back together with his love, Aunt Mary Anne. Please know that I am thinking about all of you at this time and sending hugs across the miles.
Donna

My thoughts, prayers and memories are with you all.
Uncle Al was a kind, funny and generous man.
Hold each other close during this difficult time.

I have nothing but Great Memories of my Toronto family … when Uncle Alphonse & Aunt Mary Anne would travel back home with the whole family and then just the 2 of them when the gang got older and then (sadly), only Uncle Alphonse after Aunt Mary Anne passed. I remember Aunt Mary Anne always with a smile on her face and that mischievous twinkle in her eyes … Uncle Alphonse with that lopsided corner grin and a story (or two) to tell. Sad to hear of your passing but know you were tired. You are now in the loving arms of Aunt Mary Anne and we all know you are happy. Rest easy Uncle … till we meet again XO <3 OX
On behalf of my brothers and sisters, I would like to express our deepest sympathies on the passing of your Dad, our Uncle Al.
We remember the summer trips your family made to Saint John, with numerous kids piled in the truck camper. Those were the good old days!
My daughter Heather and I were also fortunate to have shared some good times with your family while we were living in Ontario. Your parents’ 40th wedding anniversary party certainly comes to mind. It was a very special night, especially when Memere (Nana) made her entrance.
Stay strong and know that your East Coast cousins and their families are thinking of you at this very difficult time.
Love
Claudette, Carol, Rod, Tina, Shelly, Gary, Joe and Chris.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
He was one of a kind and he will be missed.
Rest in peace Uncle Al.
Louise, and the Robichaud family.
I was only on Kingston Road once. It reminded me of my home. Lots of family and friends coming and going through a “revolving” door. Al and Mary Anne holding court. I had the pleasure of staying at their house on the Georgian Bay and meeting with Uncle Al the few times he took his beloved van down east. While working in southern Ontario I had a chance to visit Anne and Ed’s family. Uncle Al was at his best keeping all visitors, grand kids and home owners entertained with his fantastic story telling and the history of trade unions. Thinking back now, I believe Al was the one being entertained.
Keep your memories. Think of them often.
Best to all the family. Loving and cherished memories and stories will live on from all the wonderful times spent together. Pictures will keep Poppy close to all hearts. No regrets!! Love Deb, Aidan & Keira
