105 spring

Isidore Puliet (Pictured) was born on May 15, 1916 in Frampton. Second in a family of 8 children, he married Marie-Bertha Lacourse in 1943 (died in May 2014). Their two children, Yves and linda (Photo), still caring for his father, is well established in a retirement home for 8 years, where he loves to dance, sing and tell jokes. This surprises him in many ways, including its adaptability in this period of imprisonment. Mr. Pouliot, who is celebrating his 105th birthday today, was a construction contractor (Isidor Pouliot NR) for 21 years until his retirement in 1975. He still remembers his employees and subcontractors who have helped him during his working life. The secret of its longevity: Discipline.
