Charles Fredrick Gauthier

"There are people whose remembrance gives light to the world, long after they have passed away"

As in life he was in death, surrounded by the family he loved so much and who adored him in return. Charles / Dad / Poppy, fought so very hard to stay with his family but it was not to be. In his own words, "too early to leave this world". Those who knew him best know that we have lost one of the most selfless, caring, kind hearted individuals to ever cross their paths. He believed in paying it forward and doing a good turn for someone every time he had the chance.

Charles was a plumber for over 55 years and for the last 30 years ran Gauthier’s Plumbing and Heating. He enjoyed his work and his customers right up until his passing.
