| Edmund J. Michaud |
He was born December 18, 1937 in Wallagrass, the son of Ludger and Jessie (Bouchard) Michaud. He attended school in Eagle Lake and was married to Carole E. Fox on August 30, 1958. Edmund was a resident of Presque Isle for many years where he worked at various jobs including, the State of Maine Highway Department, the MPG Dairy, Grant’s Dairy, the SAD # 1 School Department as a bus driver, the City of Presque Isle Highway Department, as well as the Aroostook County Sheriff’s Department.
In 1972 he formed his own trucking company, E.J. Michaud and Sons, currently Michaud and Michaud Trucking. Edmund was a dedicated communicant of the Parish of the Precious Blood, St. Mary’s Catholic Church, Presque Isle, where he served as a Eucharistic Minister, and was a three degree member of the Presque Isle Knights of Columbus, Council Number 2524. Edmund greatly enjoyed spending time at the Michaud and Michaud shop and also enjoyed talking to and helping people. He could always be relied upon to help those in need, never asking for anything in return. His greatest joy came from spending time with his family, especially his grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
