Neil would like to be remembered for his love for his family and his lifelong
career as a dedicated teacher of Deaf Ed. He enjoyed fishing, playing tennis,
Knights of Columbus bowling and taking in all the many sports his children
were involved in over the years. Later in life as he enjoyed retirement he
took on the enjoyment of evening drives with Anna, spending time at the
Between the Hearts Renewal Center, and the love of nature and long walks at
the Bird Sanctuary (binoculars in tow). He was very proud of his children,
Neil Jr., Kyle, Phil, and Amy as well as all of his grandchildren.

  

Neil Joseph Doucette, Sr. is predeceased by his wife Anna (Colligan), brothers
Peter, Louis, Bernard wife Madeleine, Isaac wife Sally, Felix wife Anne,
Albert wife Viola, Urbain wife Ann Marie. Sisters Claudette, Agnes husband
Emile, Therese husband Ernest.

(Monica), and his daughter, Amy (Stephen). His grandchildren Matthew,
Geoffrey, Kasey, Amy, Jacob, Jenesta, Nathan and Deanna Mae; Sister in laws
Janelle Hanna; Lena Doucet and Winona Doucet. Brother in law Laurent, and many
nieces, nephews and extended family and friends.
