'Friends Not Forgotten'

It is with great sadness that the family of RCMP Deputy Commissioner (ret'd) Guy Marcoux announces his passing on March 29, 2011.

Predeceased by his first wife Shirley (Rennie) of Abbey, Saskatchewan. Survived by his children Stewart (Claudette Levesque), Rennie (Guy Gallant), Maureen, Michel (Julia Burns), and his cherished grandchildren who adored him Shaun Andre, Johanie, Nathalie, Nicolas, Brittany, Liam and Maria; adopted daughter Juana Laura Garcia (Ayhan Karaceper); step-daughters Cathy Gordon (Luke), Susanne Mackillop (Malcolm), and their children Rebecca, Jason, Rory and Laura.

Son of the late Roland Marcoux and Jeannette Lalancette, Guy grew up in Roberval (Lac St-Jean). He joined the RCMP on July 5, 1950 and served for 35 years in Saskatchewan, New Brunswick, Quebec, Yukon and Ottawa.

After his retirement, he worked with External Affairs (Trade Negotiations Office), and Health Canada (Canadian Panel on Violence against Women). He was a Governor of the Canadian Corps of Commissionaires for 21 years and served as chairman of the Board of Directors for the Ottawa Division.

Following the death of his first wife, Guy married Wendy Bradshaw of Duncan, B.C. He adopted her family and embraced a new life on Vancouver Island filled with travel, golfing, children and grandchildren from both families. Guy is also survived by several brothers, sisters and family from Quebec, Ontario, Saskatchewan, Alberta, B.C. and Oregon. He will be deeply missed by the many friends whose lives he enriched.

A celebration of Guy's life will take place at the Cowichan Golf and Country Club, 4955 Trans-Canada Highway in Duncan, on Sunday April 3, 2011 from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. funeral service will take place in the RCMP Chapel in Regina on Saturday, April 9 at 12:30 p.m., followed by his burial in the RCMP Cemetery alongside his late wife Shirley.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the RCMP Museum in Regina at the following address: Friends of the Mounted Police Heritage Center 5907 Dewdney Avenue, Regina, Sask S4T 0P4

**D/Comm'r Guy Marcoux will be missed. His reputation as a long serving member of the Force and his friendship with so many will always be described in the fashion of a true, sincere and kindly gentleman. We have lost a friend. JJH
