Son of the late Mederic and Marie-Ange (née Larocque) Tessier. Dear father to Brian (Ghislaine), Laurie Sykes (Mark), Michael (Carol) and David all of Sudbury.

Red started out mining at Garson Mine; at the same time built, and with the help of the family, operated the first gas station in Garson, and later became a successful Real Estate Developer. He was known for his big grin and twinkling eyes. He loved his camp at the French River, travelling and entertaining. No stranger to hard work; he spent many hours in his flower garden after his retirement. The family would like to thank the angels that work at St. Joseph’s Villa Gardenway for the excellent care that Red received these last four difficult years and the compassion and attention to every detail shown to our family in Red’s final days was “above and beyond”. We are so very grateful. The family will receive relatives and friends at the COOPERATIVE FUNERAL HOME, 222 Lasalle Blvd, Sudbury, Friday, March 18th from 7 to 9 pm and Saturday after 10 am. A funeral service will be held on Saturday at 11 am in the funeral home Chapel, Sudbury.
