Germain loved his wife Bonnie, his daughters Linda and Nancy and their families, as well as his dog Abby and their many dogs throughout his life. Germain was an avid trap shooter and surrounded himself by a closeknit community of trapshooters.

Germain should be proud of his life, which he spent working tirelessly to provide and care for his wife and their family. It was a life well spent.
Those we Love don’t go away
They walk beside us every day.
Unseen, unheard, but always near
Still loved, still missed, and always dear.
