Son of the late Napoléon Tremblay and the late Alice Alain, both of Québec City, and husband of the late Iris Lorraine Hillis of Toronto (for 35 years) and to the late Marie-Jeanne Mayrand of Gracefield, Québec (for 22 years) and brother of the late Reverend Alphonse of Saint-Augustin, Québec. He will be remembered by his brother Raymond (Capucin) of Lac Bouchette, Québec, his two sisters Alice (late Paul Carbonneau) of Toronto and Thér&egravese of Québec.

His career with the Geological Survey of Canada was rewarding and has spanned a period of 35 years studying gold and uranium deposits in precambrian rocks of Northern Saskatchewan, North-West Territories and North-Western Québec. Results of his work are summarized in books and numerous scientific papers.

Enjoying life at his cottage and visiting many parts of the world were years of enjoyment during his retirement of over 30 years.

Funeral mass will be held at the Saint-Thomas d’Aquin Catholic Church, 1244 Kilborn Place, Ottawa, Ontario, K1H 6L1 on Tuesday July 28, 2015 at 11 AM followed by a reception.

As it is said by many: "the sun may be obstructed by clouds, eclipsed by the moon or relegated to the dark side of the earth, but it always rises to shine again – this is what you should remember when life is not always as you hope it to be. It will always be there to help because God will always be there to welcome you."
