Michel Joseph Tetreault
It is with deep love and sadness that we announce the passing of Michel Joseph Tetreault; devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend, who passed away peacefully surrounded by loved ones at his home in Ulster, Pennsylvania.
Born on February 18, 1956, in Sweetsburg, Quebec Canada, Michel was the first of seven children born to Angela (Gagne) Marie Tetreault and Roger Phillip Tetreault. He spent his childhood in Granby, Connecticut where he attended local schools and formed the strong work ethic and steady character that would define his life.
In 1974, he proudly joined the United States Navy, beginning a chapter of service that reflected his deep sense of duty and commitment. Not long after, he met the love of his life, Rhonda (Keirstead) Ann Tetreault. Together, they built a remarkable 48-year love story rooted in devotion, partnership, and unwavering support.
They made their homes in Granby Connecticut, and Southwick, Massachusetts, where they raised three beautiful sons. Over the years, Michel and Rhonda remodeled and lived in four homes, and together designed and built three of them from the ground up—each one a testament to his craftsmanship, vision, and pride in creating spaces filled with warmth and family memories.
A man of many talents, he was a prolific artist whose creativity found expression in countless forms. He had a gift for working with his hands and a special joy in building go-carts, delighting in both the process and the smiles they brought. He held a lifelong passion for old automobiles, admiring their history, craftsmanship, and timeless character.
He found peace and happiness in the outdoors, whether working on a project, enjoying the open air, or simply appreciating the beauty of nature. Above all, he cherished time spent with his family, who were the center of his world and his proudest accomplishment.
His life was one of building—homes, art, and, most importantly, a family grounded in love. His legacy lives on in the structures he crafted, the art he created, and the lives he shaped with his kindness and strength.
Michel leaves behind his beloved wife, Rhonda (Keirstead) Ann Tetreault; his two sons; Christopher Mark Tetreault and wife Christina Tetreault, of Enfield,Connecticut; Michel Leighton Tetreault, and his partner Ellen Sundance Puzzo of Wallingford, Connecticut; his grandchildren, Aiden Tetreault, Carter Tetreault, and Jonathan Tetreault. Michel leaves behind his siblings; Guil Claude Tetreault, Gary Steven Tetreault, Nancy Ann (Tetreault) Yaki, Mark Roger Tetreault, Monica Mae (Tetreault) Figueroa, extended family; and many dear friends who will remember his steady presence, creative spirit, and generous heart.
He is predeceased by his parents, Angela Tetreault and Roger Tetreault; his son Jonathan Michel Tetreault, and his sister Evelyn Marie Tetreault.
A celebration of life will be held at 2:00 pm, on Sunday, March 1, 2026 at Romas Restaurant in the Banquet Room, 561 College Highway, Southwick, Massachusetts 01077.

joy in the simple pleasures of life—fishing, bowling, golfing, camping, and spending time outdoors. He was always busy in his garage, working on ambitious projects and fixing or
building something with his hands.
George had a well-known love for the color red—so much so that every vehicle he owned had to be red, a detail that never went unnoticed by family and friends and always brought a smile.
He was also an avid collector of many things.
One of his most cherished traditions was the annual fishing trip to Black Lake with friends, memories he spoke of often and held close to his heart. Above all else, George loved being surrounded by his family. Nothing brought him more happiness than time spent with his grandchildren and great-grandchildren, who were the pride and joy of his life.
George will be remembered as a caring father, a devoted grandpa, and a loyal friend whose steady presence touched everyone who knew him.
