ARMAND RENE MESSIER
HIGHGATE SPRINGS -- Armand Rene Messier, a life-long resident of Highgate Springs/Swanton, husband of Cheryl (Barney) Messier, passed onto the Lord at his home on Monday, Aug. 23, 2004. Armand was born June 30, 1926, to the late George and Antoinette (Milotte) Messier.
Armand attended Ste. Anne's Academy in Swanton and enlisted in the United States Army during his final year of school. He proudly served in the Central European Theater's 134th Infantry in Germany, France, and Holland. Following his military service he returned to Swanton to complete his studies and graduate from Ste. Anne's Academy in 1948.
For 39 years he lived on his homestead, Country Essence, where he worked endlessly and tirelessly on this labor of love. From this homestead Armand and his wife Cheryl operated Country Essence Bed and Breakfast for the last 10 years.
Following his retirement from IBM in 1990 after 25 years of service, Armand became a longtime and faithful funeral assistant with Kidder Memorial Home. In his post retirement years Armand also worked as the Director of Information for the Swanton Chamber of Commerce and most recently for the State of Vermont Department of Travel and Tourism as a greeter at the Georgia Welcome Center. Throughout his years with Kidder Memorial Home and with the information and welcome centers he took great pleasure in greeting the public while enthusiastically performing his duties.
Armand was a loving and dedicated husband, father, and grandfather, and role model. Armand was a man of compassion and conviction in everything that he did. For Armand, the smallest undertaking was completed beyond perfection. His meticulously manicured lawn and garden were his passion. He loved his home, Country Essence, and his home-grown vegetables and flowers. He spent many quiet winter hours reading about UFO's. During the holidays Armand was known for being an avid baker. We will surely miss his Tourtiere Pies, Cinnamon Rolls and traditional goodies. He enjoyed creating small inventions in his workshop and building his grandchildren's playground.
