Obituary for Emile Joseph Babineau
Of Waltham, passed away peacefully Friday evening October 18th, 2019 in his home with family by his side at the age of 80.
Born on November 30, 1938 in St. Norbert, New Brunswick, Canada; son of the late Charles Babineau and Edna (Robichaud) Babineau. Emile has been a resident of Waltham for the past 60 years and spent many years vacationing with his family in Clinton, Maine.
Emile was employed as a Bus Driver throughout his life with the M.B.TA. for 17 years and with the Waltham Public Schools Bus Transportation companies for over 30 years.
He was extremely proud of his French-Canadian heritage and loved to travel with his wife back home to Canada visiting family & friends. He enjoyed all different types of arts & crafts; he also had many passions in life including flying small aircraft as a private pilot, deep sea fishing off of Gloucester; but no greater passion then spending time with his family especially his grandchildren.
Emile had a strong faith in his God and was a devout parishioner of Saint Mary's Parish in Waltham serving as an acolyte for numerous weddings and funerals.
He was predeceased by his beloved wife of 56 years Irene (D'Ambrois) Babineau, and dear siblings the late Elise Gaudet, Marie Leger, Jeanne Lagare, Suzanne Babineau, Baby Emile Babineau and Lauraine Bourgois.
