Aimé Bonnevie,
shown with coworkers from the General Electric
plant in Lynn, Massachusetts (center, shaking hands).
Aimé was born in Canada of
Simon Bonnevie and Dometilde Bourque
and lived in Lynn for more than 60 years.
He had been employed as a tool crib attendant at General Electric River Works
for 34 years. He was a member of the Thomson Quarter Century Club, the Holy
Name Society of St. Jean Baptiste Church and the Assumption Society.
He died at age 87. He had 14 brothers and sisters.
I didn't know my grandfather all that well. My mother
Claudette said he
adored my grandmother, and that he was a gentle doting
father, who walked her to school every day. My grandfather
was close to 60 when my mother was born, and was thus
already retired when she was a kid.
