It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Gaetan Durocher at the Timmins and District Hospital on Friday, November 24th, 2017. Gaetan was surrounded by close friends and family and in the thoughts of all those who couldn’t be there. He is predeceased by his beloved wife Sue Durocher and his parents Elias Durocher and Simone Durocher (nee Frappier).

Gaetan will be dearly missed by his best friend and cousin Claude Mathé (Gayle), Laurette Durocher, as well as many sisters-in-law, brother-in-law, nieces, nephews and friends. The family would like to thank Dr. Yates and the nursing staff at Timmins and District Hospital for their amazing compassion and care, in addition to Dr. Paquette, his physician of 30 years.
