Maurice graduated from ELHS in 1956, enlisted in the US Navy in January of 1957 and was honorably discharged on January 16, 1963.

On January 16, 1965, he married Joline Begin and they raised 4 children. He was employed at International Paper, Jay, ME for 36 years, retiring in 2002. From 2004 until his retirement on February 5, 2010, he worked as a security guard with Andrews International for ING; a job he really loved but had to retire because of health problems.

He was a member and trustee of First Assembly of God church, Lewiston, ME. His hobbies included painting with oils and he was an avid reader. His family was his life, he was an inspiration to them and a role model, always putting his family first. On a down day, the sunshine in his life was visits from his little 2 year old grandson, Cayden who had a way of lifting his spirit and putting a smile on his face. He cherished his visits and Cayden loved his Pépère.
