As our family roots grew deeper, Great-Pepe was blessed with yet another generation of sweethearts and poochies to love and cuddle in his great-grandchildren Grayson, Dustin, Drake and Trenton; Brett, Colton and Mason; Spencer and Taylor; Jonathan, Katherine and Matthew. He also leaves to mourn many nieces and nephews whom he cherished deeply. Albert is predeceased in life by infant twin sons, his parents Philippe & Marguerite (Chapados) Prevost, his siblings Mae, Annie (George), Catherine (Louis-Philippe), Raymond (Yvonne) as well as his respected father and mother-in-law Albert & Regina (Gagnier) Charron.
