Many hours were spent with Marcel as he was one of my late husband's best friends. Heaven has gained another angel. RIP Marcel! You will be missed by all who knew you!!!
Helen Kelly,Sheri and family so very sorry for your family's loss please except our heartfelt condolences.
Helen and Family. Please accept our heart-felt condolences at this extremely difficult time. Marcel's love for all his family members & friends will never be forgotten. He accepted me with open arms during my first trip, almost 8 years ago, as a member of the "A Team" of dealer-trade drivers for Vandermeer Toyota. That first contact resulted in my joining him and Tony Vandermeer for a twice-weekly 1 hour coffee get-together - even during the difficult Covid time. Also, our many road trips together chatting about the cars of the past. Those memories will forever be cherished. RIP my good friend until we meet again.
