It is with great sadness that we acknowledge the death of Marcel Thomas on November 17th after a long battle with cancer at the age of 76. Marcel was born in St. Brieux, May 17 1935, to Jean and Louise Thomas. He was the youngest of five. On October 26, 1955, Marcel married Agnes Suignard. They had 3 children. He farmed in a partnership with his 3 brothers in St. Brieux. Marcel loved golfing. He also spent countless hours helping to develop the St. Brieux Golf Course. Marcel recently said: “I liked farming but I really like to golf”.
