We send our deepest sympathies to Hernri's family; in particular to our wonderful daughter-in-law, Danielle, who we know loved her Pepe with all her heart. We are honoured to be part of the Morin family, and so blessed to have had Henri in our lives. It was always a pleasure to be his Euchre partner. We send our love to Yvette, and will hold you all close to our hearts as you navigate life remembering this wonderful gentleman. Most Sincerely, Lorrie & Paul
