So sorry for your loss! I remember Uncle Jake(I called him that because my cousins did) as such a sweet giant with a big smile. I know his kindness will be remembered by many. May each of you take comfort in knowing that he’s rejoicing in heaven with Aunt Mary! God bless each of you!!

To the Lamoureux family-
On behalf of the Riel and Pelletier family, formerly of Woodstock, CT, I extend our sincerest condolences on the recent passing of your beloved family member, JAMES J LAMOUREUX. Many years ago, as my parents resided in the Norwich (CT) area, they knew some of your elder relations, uncle Francis Lamoureux, aunt Simone (Comtois) Lamoureux, and her sisters, Delores Comtois, all of Baltic, CT, along with Sr Yvette Comtois, of Hudson, NH, whom all originated from Thompson, CT, all of whom demonstrated a strong devout Catholic faith and have passed away within the last 20 years. May Jake’s service to his family, community and nation be rewarded into life everlasting. Respectfully submitted-
