ENOSBURG FALLS - Bruno Pothier, age 80, passed away unexpectedly on April 9, 2012 at the Northwestern Medical Center in St. Albans.
He was born February 11, 1932 in Warwick, Que., Canada the son of the late Joseph and Angelina (Beauchesne) Pothier.
Bruno immigrated in the USA in May 1955 with his wife Therese, eventually purchasing a small farm in Westfield. In 1968, they moved their family to Enosburg Falls. Bruno semi-retired from farming in 1985 and pursued a second career as a tour lead for a travel agency, where he had the chance to travel around the world. He had a tremendous amount of energy and enjoyed being around people. From his youth, he also had a great passion for logging spending countless time in the woods with his chain saw. In the spring he always looked forward to making maple syrup.
