He was married to Lucille (Arseneault) Blacquière. Born in

Louis had a great passion for the great outdoors. He was an avid hunter and trapper. Louis also truly enjoyed cooking. His traditional meat pies and fish cakes were enjoyed by many people in Miramichi. He was also well known as MacGyver, always inventing something.
