He was born in Lewiston, June 7, 1924, the son of the late Joseph and Arthemise (Vaillancourt) Roux. In his younger years, he was a member of the St. Mary’s Cadets.

His hobbies included playing golf, listening to music on his stereo system, oil painting, working on his computer and spending time with all of his relatives, especially his nieces and nephews, whom he loved so very much.
