On behalf of the Horne Granite Curling Club, we extend our heartfelt condolences to his family and friends during this difficult time. Our thoughts are with you, and we hope you find comfort in the memories you shared.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Au nom du club de curling Horne Granite, nous offrons nos plus sincères condoléances à sa famille et à ses amis en cette période difficile. Nos pensées vous accompagnent, et nous espérons que les souvenirs partagés vous apporteront du réconfort.

C'est avec une profonde tristesse que nous annonçons le décès de Denis Gérald DeGrace survenu paisiblement le 30 mars 2026, à l'âge de 86 ans.

Époux bien-aimé de Jacqueline Boulanger, il laisse dans le deuil ses enfants, dont la mémoire de sa fille aînée, feue JoAnne, décédée le 5 juin 2021(Claude Raymond), Dany (Kim Fortin) et Chantal (Luc Rivard), ses petits-enfants, Zacharie, Audrée (Charles), Chloé (Jean-Paul), Alexi (Valérie), Mattieu (Lena) et Nicolas (Hollie)et arrière-petits-enfants, Imani, Jaiya, Mélia et Tam qu'il chérissait profondément.

Homme travaillant et dévoué, il a fait carrière à Ontario Hydro où il était reconnu comme un gestionnaire juste et respecté. Il était apprécié pour sa force tranquille, son sourire chaleureux, sa générosité et sa gentillesse. Pour plusieurs, il était tout simplement le meilleur boss.

Il trouvait du bonheur dans les plaisirs simples de la vie : voyager, faire du vélo, jouer au curling, écouter de la musique, chanter, danser, faire des BBQ, et savourer les bons repas, particulièrement la cuisine de son épouse. Fier de sa famille, il aimait partager leurs photos et créait chaque année des calendriers remplis de précieux souvenirs.

Homme de foi, il s'est impliqué généreusement dans son église et sa communauté (Chevaliers de colomb, Conseil pastoral paroissial, popote roulante, chorale paroissale)

Il laisse derrière lui un héritage d'amour, de dévouement et de souvenirs précieux.

La famille accueillera parents et amis pour une visite au salon funéraire Buffam Leveille situé au 483 rue Broadway à Haileybury le 10 avril prochain de 19 h à 21 h. Les funérailles auront lieu le samedi 11 avril prochain à 11 h à la paroisse Sacré-Cœur situé au 116 Dymond cresent à New Liskeard. Un goûter servi au sous-sol de la paroisse après la messe de funerailles.

La famille tient à remercier l'hôpital de Temiskaming, le Temiskaming Lodge, plus particulièrement le personnel soignant de l'aile Triangle Hill pour leur compassion et les bons soins prodigués.

Les condoléances et hommages peuvent être partagés sur www.buffamleveille.com

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Denis Gérald DeGrâce who passed away peacefully on Monday March 30th, 2026 at the age of 86.

Beloved husband of Jacqueline Boulanger , he leaves behind his loving children, Dany (Kim Fortin) and Chantal (Luc Rivard) as well as his grandchildren, Zacharie, Audrée (Charles), Chloé (Jean-Paul) Alexi, (Valérie) Mattieu (Lena) et Nicolas (Hollie) and great-grandchildren, Imani, Jaiya, Mélia and Tam whom he cherished deeply. Denis was predeceased by his beloved eldest daughter, JoAnne who passed away on June 5th 2021 (Claude Raymond).

A dedicated and hardworking man, he spent his career with Ontario Hydro, where he was respected as a fair and dependable manager.

Many described him as the best boss you could ever have. He was known for his quiet strength, warm smile, generosity and kindness.

He found joy in life's simple pleasures—traveling, singing, music, dancing, barbecuing, bike riding, curling, and good food. He especially enjoyed his wife's cooking. Proud of his family, he loved sharing their photos and creating yearly calendars filled with cherished memories.

A man of faith, he generously devoted his time to his church and community (Knights of Columbus, Meals on Wheels, Church Choir, Pastoral Church Committee).

He leaves behind a legacy of love, dedication, and cherished memories.

Family and friends will be received at Buffam Funeral Home in Haileybury on Friday April 10th from 7 to 9 pm.
Funeral Mass will be held on Saturday April 11th at 11:00 a.m at Sacred Heart Church in New Liskeard. A light luncheon will follow in the church basement.

The family wishes to thank the Temiskaming Hospital and the Temiskaming Lodge, especially the staff working in the Triangle Hill Wing, for their compassion and admirable care.

Condolences and tributes may be shared at www.buffamleveille.com

🥌 Thank You to Topper's Pizza! 🍕

Our afternoon curlers had an amazing Fun Day on March 25th, kicking things off with a game at 10am and finishing strong with another at 1pm.

A big highlight of the day was lunch — and they were incredibly grateful when the manager at Topper’s Pizza generously donated our entire order!

Thanks to this generosity, our afternoon curlers were able to pay it forward by donating $200 from their coffee fund back to the curling club.

Community supporting community — that’s what it’s all about 💙
Please consider supporting Topper’s Pizza the next time you're craving a slice!
