It is with tremendous sadness that we announce the passing of our colleague and friend Chris Lemieux.
In the coming days we will be posting a follow-up to this announcement that will tell you all about the work Chris did, here at ALSO, but in years before that with the Windsor Express, and the Wheelchair Hockey League. We will talk about his advocacy and his volunteerism. We’ll honour his service in his work and to his community.
Chris was far more than his work, or his commitments. He was quick, dry, and witty. He was loving and compassionate and giving. He was no nonsense, come-with-solutions, let’s-get-it-done, unafraid of conflict, and direct
– we need more people like Chris.
We chose this picture of Chris because we loved his expression. And we love how much he loved animals.
Chris was our Virtual Services & Community Resources Coordinator, his Assistant, and Mom, Wendy Hill, is a member of our ALSO family as well. Together they made a fantastic team, on and off the clock. Our hearts are breaking for you Wendy, and Brian. Together in the hundreds of clients and colleagues alike, we are with you and your family.
We doubt Chris could have imagined how many people were impacted by him throughout his life and how many are so saddened by the loss of him. We doubt he knew how much he gave us, and how much he meant to us. We choose to believe that he knows now.
Thank you, Chris.
