Armand Morin
Armand Morin, 84, of West Charleston and Edgewater, Florida, peacefully died at North Country Hospital in Newport on September 29, 2004, with his children at his bedside.
Mr. Morin was born in Stanstead, Quebec, in 1920, the eldest son of Alice and Joseph Morin.
His life was a colorful array of entrepreneurial adventures. He was involved in selling freezer lockers, a tractor dealership, a turkey farm, the Lyn-Burke Motel in Lyndonville, the Continental 93 Motel in New Hampshire, the Village Market, Tap and Die in Derby Line, and farming, including trees, dairy, beef cattle, and experimental beefalo.
In the early 1990s, he and his wife, Norma, who predeceased him in 2003, lived in Florida for six months a year to be near his brother Marcel and Marcel’s wife, Emma, and his sister Pauline of Leesburg, Florida.
He had a dry sense of humor and good wit. He enjoyed gardening, hunting, entering into speculative ventures, playing golf, and creating dreams and seeing them through to fulfillment. He was also a connoisseur of fine food and was on a constant quest for the perfect martini. He will be greatly missed.
He is survived by four children: Patricia Preseault and her husband, Paul, of Burlington, Bonnie Tasha of Edgewater, Marguerite Tyrell of San Diego, California, and David Morin of West Charleston; by the following grandchildren: Laurie Tasha of Anaheim, California, Gene Tasha of Phoenix, Arizona, Christyne Poage of Houston, Texas, Holly Hammond of Dallas, Texas, and Maui, Hawaii, Todd Preseault of Maui, J.P. Preseault of Seattle, Washington, and Heather, Amber, and Victoria Morin of Shelburne; by his eight great-grandchildren; and by several nieces and nephews.
