Trooper Cecil Edward Goodreau
Photo taken in March of 1943 just before leaving for war.
Taken at his brother's home, Harry and Helene Goodreau ( Goudreaus )
On Copper St Sudbury Ontario.
The hills in the back ground we all climbed. Cecil had moved to Sudbury to work at the mines.
He stayed with his brother and their children. He was very much loved brother, son, uncle.
While working at the mines he would send money home to help his parents and continued to do so while in the army. When he died in battle in Feb 1945, he was much liked by all and in his pocket was his rosary given by his mother Margaret. He was missed throughout all our lives.
