Oscar Goulet, beloved husband of Jeanne of Dryden, passed away suddenly on Wednesday, October 21, 2009 on their fifty-eighth wedding anniversary with his son Roger by his side.

Oscar moved to Northwestern Ontario in the late forties with the logging industry and was a private logging contractor for Dryden Paper for many years. He then began his career with the Ministry of Natural Resources where he designed, supervised and built many access roads and bridges. His expertise was sought after and respected. He treasured his family. The pride and admiration he had for them gave him much joy. His legacy will live on through the many words of advice and knowledge he shared. Everyone will remember his hospitality and culinary talents, especially his soups.

Oscar is survived by his loving wife Jeanne; their children and spouses, Ginette and Bob Spence, Giselaine and John Ellison, Lynda and Jim McLeod, Roger and Carla, Ron and Lori and Joanne; eleven grandchildren Julienne and Laura Spence, Philip and Marisa Ellison, Jay and Austin McLeod, Leah, Danielle and Karlee Goulet, Andrea and Brennan Goulet; and a great-granddaughter Sophie McLeod. He is also survived by ten siblings, Sylvio and Helen, Marie-Antoinette Letellier, Hélène and Roland Thibault, Raymond and Marie, Léandre and Joan, Denise, Fernande Roy, Gaston and Diane, Bernice (sister-in-law), Eddy and Denise, and Gaetan; and thirty-eight nieces and nephews.

He was predeceased by his parents Ernest and Rose; five siblings, Yolande, Juliette, Thérèse, Yvette, and Claude.

A private family service was held at Dryden Community Funeral Home followed by an interment at Dryden Cemetery. If friends so desire, memorial tributes may be made to DRHC CT Scan.
