Armand was very community minded and would lend a hand to anyone in need. In his spare time, Armand enjoyed fishing and ice fishing, boating, camping, and playing the mouth organ, but his most favorite of all was dancing. Papa also loved the little children. His greatest joy was to be surrounded by his wife and his children and especially loved to tease, tickle and laugh with all his grandchildren. Ninety per cent of the homes in Val Marie were recipients of Armand's woodwork. The church altar that has been admired for many years was also built by him.
