It is with a heavy heart that we announce the peaceful passing of Nelson Paquette, a dedicated individual who served the National Research Council (NRC) for an impressive 35 years before retiring. Nelson departed from this world surrounded by the love of his close-knit family at his home in Rockland, Ontario, on Wednesday, December 13th, 2023. He was 68 years old.
Nelson’s three and a half decades of service to the NRC speak volumes about his commitment, work ethic, and passion for contributing to the world of research and development. His retirement marked not only the end of a professional chapter but also the beginning of a new phase in his life, where he undoubtedly continued to enrich the lives of those around him.
Surrounded by the warmth and support of his loving family, Nelson’s departure from this world was undoubtedly eased by the bonds he had cultivated throughout his rich and fulfilling life. The legacy he leaves behind is not only one of professional dedication but also a testament to the importance of family, love, and the lasting impact one can have on the lives of others.
