C'est avec une profonde tristesse que nous vous annonçons le décès soudain de Neil Troelstrup à l'âge de 64 ans.
Il laisse dans le deuil son âme sœur, Sylvie ; ses fils: Ryan (Cherell) et Derek; ses frères et sœurs: Nancy (Roger), Rachel (Vilmont, Mark (Lisa, Diane (John), Lynne (Tom) et Bonnie (Steve Cloutier); ses beaux-parents: Claude et Denise Grenier ; sa belle-sœur: Josée (Mike) ainsi que d'innombrables amis et famille.
Il a été précédé dans la mort par son père Charles, sa mère Marielle, son beau-père Robert Laro, son frère Rob et son neveu Christos.
Neil était un mari attentionné et un bon père ; sa famille était la chose la plus importante de sa vie. Il adorait les visites de ses frères et sœurs venant d’un peu partout du Canada et était toujours un super hôte. Neil avait récemment pris sa retraite et avait de nombreux projets. Il adorait voyager, surtout à Cuba, où Neil et Sylvie ont développé des amitiés de longue date avec leur « famille cubaine ».
Neil adorait conduire sa moto, il avait récemment acheté un vélo électrique tout comme beaucoup de ses amis et se plaisait en disant qu'ils devraient créer un gang de motards et se nommer les « machines vertes ». C'était un très sociable ; toujours hâte de passer une soirée avec Sylvie entre amis pour faire rire les gens avec ses blagues sans fin et ses one-liners, et bien sûr, pour prendre une pinte de Belgian Moon (avec 3 oranges), un verre de vin et le Shooooooter occasionnel !!
Il avait de nombreux amis proches qu’il aimait tant. Neil était un mari, un fils, un père et un ami dévoué. Nous nous souviendrons toujours de lui et de son grand et beau cœur.
En guise de sympathies, des dons au CAB Rediker, 112 rue Principal, Stanstead, QC, J0B 3E5 ou à Phelps Help, 272 Rue Dufferin, Stanstead, QC, J0B 3E2, seraient appréciés car Neil croyait que ces deux organismes étaient importants pour la communauté.
En raison des circonstances, une célébration de la vie aura lieu à une date ultérieure.
Words alone cannot express how sorry we were to learn of the sudden passing of Neil. He was loved by so many and he will be greatly missed. Please accept our deepest sympathy and know that our thoughts are with you during this very difficult time of your lives. Neil has probably already organized an angel motorcycle gang in heaven called the Heavenly Green Machines .....
To lose such a wonderful person as Neil is one of the most painful experiences that those close to him will ever have to endure. I am sure that the past few days have re-enforced to you the amount of love and respect he generated from family and friends. He had a true gift in his ability to put a smile on people's faces. I was so fortunate and proud to call him my brother. We had to let go but those great memories will be with us for our lifetimes.
I would like to exprime my deepest sympathy for the lost of a real gentleman and a very special fellow that will remain into my hearth forever. Your cousin Gaétan and wife Mireille.
Nous vous offrons nos plus sincères sympathies. Il a rendu l'âme trop tôt. Nous prions pour toi et ta famille.

Kimball & Lisa
I wish to express my deepest sympathies . My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
We are all completely devastated over this heartbreaking loss. Neil has always been the most amazing brother (okay, well not when he stuck his finger in my Apple pie and said “Are you going to eat this?” - but he was only 9 so I will let that one slide). But seriously, no one could ever hope for a better brother, son, husband, dad or friend than Neil. I loved him completely. Always a joker, crazy about his family and friends and a real joy to be with. I miss him so much! Losing a loved one during a global pandemic is especially tragic. How I long to hug Sylvie, Ryan and Derek and be wrapped in the comfort of family and friends! Even though I left the Eastern Townships in 1973, the Three Villages has always been home and Neil and his family are the connection that pulls me home. Neil was a wonderful man who cherished his family and friends. I believe the richness of life can be counted in the people who love you. In that Neil was rich beyond measure, with a beautiful wife and two spectacular sons, and tons of family and friends who adored him. I will miss him for the rest of my life, but I believe we will meet again someday. I love you Neil. No doubt you already have them laughing in heaven. I hope there’s free beer up there at least. So glad God chose you to be my brother.
My deepest sympathy for your loss.
Neil was a great friend always made me smile .
It's been years since I've seen Neil but he was unforgettable, the Troelstrup Family are all dear to me. To Sylvie, Derek and Ryan thoughts and prayers are with you, to Neil's siblings, families and close friends may his humour carry you through the difficult days ahead and bring a smile to your lips forever more....gone to soon,
My deepest sympathies to you all.
We are thinking of you during this difficult time, our deepest sympathies to you and the boys. I'm sure he is having a cold one with dad.
Sending love and hugs
Darlene and Darryl

Chère petite cousine, il n'y a pas de mots pour exprimer à quel point nous sommes affligés par la dure perte que vous vivez. Nous espérons simplement que notre sympathie vous apportera un certain apaisement, la force et le courage pour surmonter ces temps difficiles.
C'est avec une si grande tristesse que je te transmet toutes mes sincères sympathies Sylvie. Quel choc. Le jour de votre mariage, j'avais 14 ans. J'ai dansé avec Neil et je lui ai dit: I hope you will be happy with my cousin. Il m'a répondu: I am the happiest man on earth with Sylvie and I will be till the day I die. Sa sincérité m'avait marqué. Sending all my love to you, Ryan and Derek

Les souvenirs de sa bonne humeur resteront avec vous pour toujours. Neil était un bon vivant et il ne manquait jamais une occasion pour bien rigoler lorsqu’on se voyait.
Sincères sympathies à vous tous. Bon courage.
Words cannot express our overwhelming shock and grief over Neil’s sudden passing.
Neil checked all the boxes,,,,, awesome family man and husband who made sure his lovely wife Sylvie, the love of his life, was proudly on his arm for their weekly date night. (love that)…..best Dad ever and he was not only a fun Dad but was forever supportive to Ryan and Derek and there was never any doubt in their minds how loved they were and how proud their Dad was of them. Neil was an incredible brother who was always so delighted to spend time with his brother and sisters from across the country and who always made sure we had lots of fun adventures together. I loved how he was always so genuinely happy and always had some hilarious stories to share. Neil was the ‘Neilster’ to me . (‘: We all shared a poor but rich childhood that brought us close together and gave us character and grit thanks to our amazing and incredibly strong Mom.
Neil had a big big heart and was a magnet for forging friendships of any gender or generation. He had an incredible following of life long friends (they could write a book on their comical account of their countless stories) as well as friends he continually adopted along the way. He really did have the ability to put himself in the other person’s shoes and even if he couldn’t quite relate or understand them initially, he came around and then the mutual friendship followed.
Neil was wonderfully unique but if I had to compare him to someone it would combination of John Wayne and Kurt Russell. (Kurt and Goldie Hawn have been together 37 years and have the same sparkly and humorous relationship that Neil and Sylvie enjoyed)
We all look forward to our our wonderful celebration of life for Neil when we all have safe passage. It has been so difficult to not be on the first plane out after it happened. It will be like no other celebration! There will be an abundance of belly laughs, shared stories of the antics of Neil , great music, dancing and great food! To Neil, the iconic Dad, husband, brother , true blue friend, and so uniquely Neil!
Our deepest on your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Good morning Sylvie,
This is a difficult time for you and the boys.
Life isl difficult because we rely on our partner so much.
Louise and I wish you a happy birthday even as the events don't help.
Louise and Ray xoxoxo
I am so sorry for your lost! Vous avez su marquer votre passage dans ma vie.! Neil was a great personnage , i will have his smile in my head for ever!
Keep your smile Sylvie....
Mes sympathies à sa famille et belle-famille
