Condolence: Seeing this very late. However, sorry to hear about Mr. Tremblay's death. Not only was he my French teacher, but also a close colleague of my father's at EJHS. He was a special person who left his postive mark on many, many students. To be a teacher is a special calling. Thank you, Joe.

Condolence: Joe and I met when we were freshmen at St. Michael's University. I remember visiting his family in Highgate and their camp on Lake Champlain. We remained close friends from that time on and kept in touch by phone and occasional visits to Essex Junction. He was a dear friend and will be greatly missed.

Condolence: I'm saddened to learn of Mr. Tremblay's passing. I was his student for 2 years. I don't remember much of what I learned then. But I do remember enjoying his inspiring classes. Years later I ran into Mr. Tremblay in Essex and he greeted me with my class name, Elise. I was so impressed that he remembered considering all the students he'd taught over the years. My deepest condolences to Mr. Tremblay's family on your immense loss.

Condolence: Lisa and family I was so sorry to hear about your dads passing. He will be forever remembered for his infectious smile and heartfelt laugh. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Condolence: To Donald and Family I am very sad to read this news of Mr. Tremblay's passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you now! I know how difficult this time can be... Mr Tremblay was a great influence for the young people of Essex. He clearly loved his work and was loved by all of his students!! He taught with such passion and I felt fortunate to have him as a teacher and neighbor!!

Condolence: Dear Madeleine and family, I was deeply saddened to hear of Joe's passing. He was such a kind, considerate and happy man. His love and affection for you was so obvious to everybody at our church! He was so encouraging to the youth of our community and you were both just wonderful loving role models! May he rest in peace and may you find solace in the love of family and your friends in your community of faithful! Sid and Karen Lynch Harmon (St. Pius parishioners)

Condolence: Madeleine and Family, Our condolences. Thinking of you and remembering all the good times in the past. Joe was one of the best! Mac, Marlene and family

Condolence: Joe was my teacher when I was in high school and a colleague when I returned to teach in Essex Junction. He was always happy with a wonderful sense of humor. After many years, we reconnected on Facebook and I enjoyed posting updates to him when Barb and I visited France. I even dared to try a little French. I bet he laughed at my clumsy attempts, but he always responded with phrases that I had to look up. He was always fun to talk with. Joe was a great guy.

Condolence: Dear Madeleine, Joanne and David, Lisa, Don, and family, Sending much love and condolences as I remember "Monsieur Tremblay" with deep affection and many emotional memories. I remember him as a French professor with high standards and an appreciation for intellect and hard work. I remember him as someone who encouraged and loved my piano performance. I remember him as Jo's dad, David's father-in-law, and grandfather to Lauren, Ry, and Michael. And mostly I remember his hugs and laughter on those rare times when I got to Vermont and had an opportunity to see him. I think the last time was at Lisa's about 10 years ago. Love to you all, Brina

Condolence: Lisa and Family, I am so sad to see this today. Your Dad was such a sweet, kind and gentle man and I was lucky to have him for a teacher. Please know you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Condolence: Rarely does such a beautiful, kind, loving, intelligent, and fun-loving man walk this earth. Joe was a mentor, a friend, and a surrogate father to me. The world will be less bright without him here. My love and condolences go out to all of the Tremblay family. We will miss him so much. Jane (and Steve) Goodman

Condolence: Joanne and family, I send my condolences to you. Mr. Tremblay was a pillar at Essex Junction High School and I am sorry to read of his passing. Best to you all at this sad time. Heidi Racht Huntington Center

Condolence: My condolences to Donald and the rest of the Tremblay family. I have such fond memories of Mr. Tremblay from EJHS. He so clearly loved life and loved teaching. The foreign language department during his tenure was full of teachers (so many starting their careers under him!) who shared his excitement about teaching. He was one of the people who made high school a great place to be.

Condolence: A special teacher, a special friend. Joe always was Such a positive person. Long after he retired, Joe and I remained friends bound by our mutual love for Montreal hockey! Condolences to Madeleine and the family. Brian and Darlene Nelligan

Condolence: The entire staff of A W Rich Funeral Home wishes to express our deepest sympathy to you and your entire family during this difficult time.
