A chapter in the history of Terrebonne, and indeed in the history of the optimist movement, has ended.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"61852\" data-originallang=\"fr\">For many of us, Mr. Grenier was a model of perseverance, dedication, optimism and success.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"61853\" data-originallang=\"fr\">He was known for his social and community involvement. Founder of the Terrebonne optimist club, he worked his way up the ladder of the larger optimist movement and became the first francophone president of the international organization.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"61854\" data-originallang=\"fr\">To his wife and children, to my friends in the Terrebonne optimist club, of which I am a member, I would like to extend my condolences on behalf of the members of the Bloc Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois and the citizens of <a data-HoCid=\"78503\" href=\"/politicians/diane-bourgeois/\" title=\"Diane Bourgeois\">Terrebonne\u2014Blainville</a>.</p>",
