Ulysse's pastimes were hunting, fishing, golfing, woodworking, and tinkering with anything he could get his hands on. His greatest joy came from family gatherings with his children, especially his grandkids and great grandkids.

We are sad that he is no longer with us. He is now reunited with Bonnie, his heavenly family. May he rest in the arms of his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
