Joseph Eugene André Bérubé

1954 ~ 2020

Joseph Eugene André Bérubé passed away on the morning of Tuesday, September 15, 2020 at Medicine Hat Regional Hospital at the age of 65, after complications from a sudden stroke and cancer diagnosis. The love of his life, Lorna, recently passed away on July 5, 2020. They are now reunited, together forever. André is survived by his son, Paul Bérubé; daughter, Rachelle Bérubé; granddaughter, Eden Bérubé whom he loved to dance with; sister, Diane Bérubé; sister, Ginette Bérubé; brother, Michel Bérubé; and sister, Sylvie Bérubé. Mother, Lauréanne and father, Guy (pre-deceased). At nineteen years old, André joined the Canadian Armed Forces, and it was the Airforce that introduced him to his beloved wife of 42 years, Lorna, whom he met by accident when she sat down at the wrong table to eat. He was a skilled F-18 fighter jet mechanic at the core, but more than that, he led by example and always exceeded expectation. During the Gulf War, he was stationed in Lahr, Germany, where he had the duty and responsibility of an entire squadron and fleet of aircraft. He retired with the rank of Warrant Officer. In retirement, André drove school bus, had a love of RVing, and cruising. A travel planner at heart, he had a talent for sourcing his next itinerary and could meticulously map out destinations, like the New York subway system or the best route to get across Barcelona! He also had an eye for fine art, enjoyed a quality glass of wine and could fix anything! Papa, on se souviendra toujours de toi comme le protecteur et le pourvoyeur de notre famille, la personne sur laquelle nous pourrions compter pour nous soutenir et nous guider vers ce que nous sommes devenus aujourd’hui. Prends soin de maman. Condolences may be sent through www.saamis.com or to condolences@saamis.com subject heading André Bérubé. Funeral arrangements are entrusted to
