With sadness the family announces the passing of Mr Gaetan Plouffe at the age of 78 years. Mr Pouffe died at the Temiskaming Hospital on Monday September 6, 2022 with his loving family by his side.
He was born at Latulipe, Qc on August 9, 1944 to the late Germain Plouffe and to the late Rose Desneiges Fleury. Mr Plouffe worked in the mines since the age of 17 years. After his retirement he found more time to do the things he loved such as camping, fishing, hunting and enjoying the great Northern Ontario outdoors. He was a practical joker always teasing and being the light of the party. Mr Plouffe was a leader earning the respect of his coworkers and friends alike. He was always there to help anyone at anytime. He was a Third Degree member of Chevaliers de Colomb de Haileybury, Conseil Fatima 1398. Mr Plouffe was a family man and enjoyed anytime spent with his family, but his greatest love was his wife of 59 years, Patricia. He was a loving son, husband, father, brother, uncle and friend. His jovial and warm personality will be greatly missed by all those fortunate enough to have known him.
