Bunny attended Caribou schools and went on to marry the love of his life, Shirley, on December 7, 1955. He was a postal carrier for the Caribou post office for many years and enjoyed the many friends he met and chatted with on his route over the years. He finished his career as a supervisor at the Caribou office. He also served with the Army National Guard for 11 years in Caribou.
Bunny enjoyed helping his boys with projects around their homes whether it was a roof, an addition, or any other thing that they needed, he could always be counted on to help. His work ethic was second to none and he enjoyed helping Rick with the trees and working with brother-in-law Stanley on the family farm.
Bunny enjoyed golf with his family, hunting with his son Rick, and spending time with his family in retirement, but most of all Bunny enjoyed spending time with Shirley. Whether it was playing bingo, attending a family birthday party or barbeque, or travelling the US or Canada, they were inseparable.

So sorry to hear of Bunny's passing. I spent a good deal of time at the Michaud house as a youngster with Rick and I always felt so welcome. He was cool.... another good one gone. My heartfelt condolences to the family. by

Great man
It was my good luck to live across the street from Bunny and Shirley and their sons. Bunny and Shirley were two of the happiest and nicest people I have ever met. I don't know how he got his nickname, but it's a good one for him.Bunnies are soft, cuddly, and friendly; and Bunny was certainly friendly. The world has lost a gentle, kind man.

Heartfelt Condolences
Pat and I extend our most heartfelt condolences to Bunny's family during this difficult time. Bunny and Shirley were good friends with my parents (Elmer & Margie Jones), and some of my earliest memories are of fun times visiting with Bunny, Shirley, Randy, and Rick. Randy and I went to school together through high school, and I enjoyed catching up with him at our most recent high school reunion. Our prayers are with Bunny and his entire family. by
