Passed away August 4, 2011 after a brief battle with cancer. Claude was born May 6, 1953 in Sudbury, Ontario to Rene Fortin and Barbara Ann Fortin (nee Lamontagne) and spent his childhood years in Chelmsford, Ontario. He moved south to Hamilton and there met his wife, Patricia Fortin (nee Noonan) in 1977. Together they moved to the Island in 1980 and to Victoria in 1981. Claude’s interests were music, electronics and the Habs! Claude passed his musical appreciation and passion on to his son, Stephan and daughter, Michelle. He will be sadly missed by Stephan and Michelle; his wife, Pat; his mother, Barbara Fortin; sisters, Therese Perron (husband Yoland) and Pauline LeFebvre, their families and by close friends and extended family, including his in-laws, the Noonan family of Hamilton and Vancouver Island and the Simpsons of Mackenzie, BC. Family gatherings will be held but there will be no open service. The family would like to express our sincere Thank You to Victoria Hospice.
In lieu of flowers, donations would be appreciated to Victoria Hospice or the charity of your choice. Condolences may be offered to the family at www.mccallbros.com.
