For many years, Rosaire was involved in logging, trucking, and tobacco farming. Throughout his life, he enjoyed hours of gardening, cultivating both vegetables and flowers. In the last 14 years of his retirement life, he was known at the Residence la Joie de Vivre as the “King of the Garden” and “King of Pool”, and for his gentlemanly ways. He was a faithful Catholic, attending St Antoine de Padoue’s Parish in Niagara Falls. In keeping with Rosaire’s wishes, the family will receive friends for visitation at MORSE & SON FUNERAL HOME, 5917 Main Street, Niagara Falls, on Wednesday November 16, 2022 from 11:30 am to 1:30 pm.
