Sorry to here about Maurice, TAPs
Uncle Maurice will be greatly missed. I am so glad that I was able to see him on my last 2 visits to Fargo with my brother. He is in a peaceful place now and no longer in pain. Janelle from Texas
I met Joyce and Maurice over 20 years ago. We often connected in Kindred at the St Maurice’s dinners. Both were always so excited to see me. Maurice worked with both of my plumber/pipe fitter brothers. We realized the connection when I commented on his belt buckle. I had a brother with one just like it.
My sympathy to the Rheault family. Your parents were great people.
So sorry to hear of Maurice’s passing , Paul and I send our sympathies to the family.
So Sorry to hear of Maurice’s passing.
Sorry to hear about Maurice. He always had a wry little smile or a wink at Mass at St Bens. You could always count on seeing Maurice from the choir loft and he always had a friendly word during morning coffee. We pray he has found his way back to Joyce and may he Rest In Peace.
Maurice Rheault, as well as his wife Joyce were great friends
as well as parishioners when I was a priest at St Ben’s.
I also had a lot of fun with their children. I miss them greatly.
Maurice will be in our hearts and memories forever. Strength and peace during this hard times. Sincere thought and prays to the Rheault family.
Glenn, Maggie, and family members, so sorry to hear about your dad. I never meet him or his wife, but they raised a great family. That alone tells me slot about him.
To Wayne, Lori and the Rheault’s Family our deepest sympathy for your loss.
We are sorry to hear about Uncle Maurice. Sending our condolences during this difficult time.
Sincere condolences to all in the Rheault family on the loss of Maury. We met Maurice when we joined Hickson Senior Citizens. Maurice was a long time member, respected and well liked by all who knew him. He will be greatly missed. May eternal light shine upon him and may he rest in peace forever.
