<div itemprop="description">Charles Patrick Marcelin Poirier, born June 3, 1938, in Inverness passed peacefully on August 25, 2015 at the Trillium Hospital in Mississauga at the age of 77. <br /> <br />He was a loving husband to Colette (MacDonald) Poirier for 51 years. Caring father to Carol Ann and Clarence (Janice). Blessed with two grandchildren Ricky and Nicholas. Son of the late Sandy and Margaret (Cormier) Poirier. Survived by sisters Yvonne (Laurie) Lunn, Theresa (Neil) Smith, and Phyllis (Benny) MacKinnon. Predeceased by brothers Ernest (Shirley), Simon (Sylvia) and sisters Molly (Buddy) Timmons and Lillian. Uncle to many nieces and nephews. <br /> <br />Charles was a tireless worker, who more than earned every paycheque paid to him. <br /> <br />Then there was his passion for the fiddle. Whether playing, step-dancing, listening to recordings, watching videos &ndash; &quot;Scotch&quot; music is what most defined his life. Music was in his blood, in his bones and gave him the most joy - at least until he had grand kids, but music always remained right up there on the list. In the last years of his life, he particularly enjoyed the long-distance talks about music with sister Phyllis, and close friends Peter Henry Poirier and Raymond Ellis. <br /> <br />Perhaps what will be missed by the most people is his story-telling. Even if it was a story he told a hundred times before, he would inevitably start laughing so hard halfway through, and that laughter would quickly spread to everyone else. He'd barely be able to finish his own story. It never got old. <br /> <br />If you have a favourite &ldquo;Charlie story&rdquo;, please feel to share it in the Life Stories section of this website. Also, enjoy the many pictures that have been shared in the Photos section. Each picture tells a story in itself. <br /> <br />A video tribute can be found at: https://youtu.be/3cGqQCuVEOo <br /> <br />In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in memory of Charles to the Canadian Transplant Association. <br />Website: http://organ-donation-works.org/english/home/ <br /> <br />Please take a moment to sign the online Guestbook. <br /> <br /></div>
