Robert Armand Theriault
April 18, 1940 ? September 24, 2020

Robert A. Thériault, age 80, of Meteghan, passed away peacefully in Yarmouth Regional Hospital on Thursday, September 24, 2020 with his daughters by his side. Born in Berwick, he was a son of the late Irenée ?Ernie? and Cecile (Maillet) Thériault.
His beloved career as an engineer saw him working locally at Université Sainte-Anne then, rewardingly, for CSAP. His public-mindedness, kindness and belief in doing things well saw him serving on municipal council. In his retirement he took up curling and golfing. He would like the friends he will miss at the Clare Golf and Country Club to know that if he could be buried on any one hole, it would be the ?dastardly? fifth. He was often happiest logging a woodlot that has been in his family for seven generations. His love of the outdoors, his engineering career and his generosity found him serving on the Association Sentier Clare / Rail to Trail Association, including being President into his 80th year. He was also an avid reader and library user, devouring novels and informative non-fiction.
He inspired his treasured daughters to be kind and to look at the world around them with both curiosity and love. He will always be remembered for his kind heart.
He is survived by his wife, Virginia; daughters, Adrienne (Robbie) and Gisèle (Darryl); brother, Lawrence (Doris); sister, Louise (Serge); many loving nieces, nephews and cousins. He was predeceased by his sister, Yvonne; son, Robert.
Cremation has taken place. Donations can be made to the Jacky Comeau & Friends Cancer Help Fund Association or contact Caisse Populaire de Clare about donating to Rails to Trails in his memory. A ceremony celebrating Robert?s life will occur at a later date.
The family would like to thank Dr. Jean-Luc Dugas, Dr. Erica Lasher, Dr. Lisa Gillis, the local VON, and especially Star Deveau at Continuing Care.
?Papa, tu vivras dans nos c?urs pour toujours.?
