The City of Brossard today lowered its flags at City Hall to half-mast in honour and memory of Mr. Alphonse Lepage, who passed away Saturday evening at Charles-Lemoyne Hospital, at the age of 87, surrounded by his loved ones. Flags will remain at half-mast until after the funeral, details of which will be announced later this week.
“Mr. Lepage was a man who inspired, rallied and mobilized through his charisma, intelligence, values and sense of righteousness. Involved in various organizations and associations over the years and recipient of prestigious honours, including the Ordre du mérite de Brossard, Alphonse Lepage was an exceptional citizen. I add my voice to those of the members of the municipal council and the staff of the Ville de Brossard in offering my most sincere condolences to his four children: Suzanne, Monique, Michel and Luc, to Mr. Lepage’s family and friends”, said Mayor Doreen Assaad with emotion.
On behalf of Mr. Lepage’s family, his son Michel expressed the following message: “A man who taught us a great deal, including how to stand up straight in every sense of the word! This is what he demonstrated every day of his life as a committed citizen and beloved father.”
