FAREWELL MR. JOSEPH AVRIL

The George Charles Secondary School community wishes to express our deep sense of loss upon learning of the death of Mr. Joseph Avril.

Mr. Avril was a long-serving member of the Science Department specializing in Agricultural Science. He was a steady and calming influence on staff known for dedication to his subject, his strong expectations of discipline and a talent for reaching out to our more troubled students. His interventions greatly helped in steering many of our boys and girls onto a more settled and productive path.

Mr Avril’s Homeroom Students remember him with love and respect. His colleagues remember a soft-spoken man with the ability to clearly see through to the heart of a situation. When asked, he shared a wealth of experience, wisdom and good sense.

Mr. Avril recently retired, looking forward to many more years with his people and his animals. His sudden and premature death is a shock to us all and we wish to share our condolences with his family and friends.

Mr. Avril was a good man and will be missed by many, though his legacy will endure.

Gone far too soon.
