I'm going to email them to Chad, his great grandson, and he can keep them for his two children. Our heritage is so very important and Jerry and I would like to hear more stories about the Faucheux family. Where the family originally came from, etc. Chad is also working on the family tree. Please keep us in the loop. How wonderful to see these pictures and hear the stories! I’m going to email them to Chad, his great grandson, and he can keep them for his two children.

It was almost an expected rite of passage for us to work where our Fathers and GrandFather were working. Every time I return home and cross the river on the bridge I look out and see Imperial Sugars and remember those summer days working in the very hot and dirty char house, and the air conditioned packing department. As a young boy, I also remember watching my Dad (Roy Cazenave) and Papere return from work in a modern boat (that is it had a engine) and more than once recall the boat being hit by large drift wood which punctured the boat causing them to bail rapidly as the boat crossed the river. Dedication, determination and the can do attitude is what sums up my memories of Fergus Faucheux besides being a loving and giving individual.
