Phonse would like to thank the caregivers at Aberdeen Hall in Parkland and his doctor, Sophie Couture, for their kindness throughout his illness.

Phonse was a teacher for over 27 years in Corner Brook, Newfoundland. He felt very fortunate to have taught the wonderful students of Regina and Presentation High Schools. If you didn’t think he was a nice guy, then it’s too late now!
