Rosaire ?Frenchy? Parent, age 76, of Lebanon, CT, passed away peacefully at Harrington Court Nursing Home, on October 6, 2017. He was born on October 14, 1940 and originally from Maine. Rosaire was involved in a motorcycle accident in August of 2016 that left him with severe injuries. Rosaire Parent, known by most as Frenchy, was predeceased by his wife of 50 years Sharon Parent, and their youngest son, Francis Parent. He leaves behind two sons, Adam Parent and Dave Parent both of them from Lebanon, CT. He also leaves behind three sisters, Mary, Maybelle, and Manoa, and many nieces and nephews and extended family members. As a father of three boys, Frenchy was loud, boisterous, and sometimes intimidating with his French accent, but when you got to know him there was a kindhearted person behind all the noise. Frenchy became good friends to many of his neighbor?s children, in their adult years, gave advice when he saw fit, and was like a grandfather to their children. Both Frenchy and Sharon would drop in occasionally on those neighboring children to check in. After his boys were grown, Frenchy, found a tremendous love for motorcycling and riding his quad in Maine. For a short period of time he was riding with New London Motorcycle Club. He always found someone to go on day trips just to ride. One particular ride he took a friend to Ground Zero, and never knew his friend was lost along the way. You could always spot him in a crowd with his bright orange helmet cruising on his orange and cream motorcycle with Ernie, from Sesame Street strapped to the back. When not riding his motorcycle, he would be in Maine riding in the back woods for hours with a group of his old time friends. He had more miles on his bikes than he did his own car. Frenchie, as we all knew him by, will be greatly missed, especially when the warmer weather comes. We will ride in honor of you, with a piece of orange on us. Rest in peace with your family that you have missed. There will be a Graveside Service at 12:00pm October 28, 2017 at the New Lebanon Cemetery, on Waterman Rd., Lebanon, CT for the remains of Sharon Parent, Francis Parent, and Rosaire Parent. May they all rest peacefully.
