I'm sorry to announce that because of a combination of things including huge cost increases, my inability to keep up with fast advancing technology, and my time constraints because of age and other factors, our online website prevost59.org will be terminated sometime around February 15th. So if there are any pictures, or stories that you want to download and keep from the website to your computer, please do it before February 15th.Thank you.

I had to post this sad news about Andy Levesque, who was from the Prevost Class of 1948. I ran across this when I went to his page after reviewing his comment not that long ago. So sorry to see him go and for his family and friends. 😪 Andy's obituary follows:

Andre "Andy" Roland Levesque
July 13, 1930 — January 5, 2024
Andre "Andy" Roland Levesque, died on January 5, 2024, at home.

Andy was born July 13, 1930, to French-speaking parents, Adelard Levesque and Jeannette Ledoux Levesque in Fall River, Massachusetts. He was the second child of four. He leaves behind his beloved partner, Jean, his youngest sister, Muriel Brousseau (Maurice), and his four children, Susan Dixon (Bill), John Levesque (Traci), Alyce Pires (Greg), and James Levesque. Andy also leaves four granddaughters, Emily Price (Andrew), Sara McLaughlin (Tim), Elizabeth Brent (Austin), and Rebecca Levesque, plus eleven great-grandchildren, and extended family, Lisa Wilson, and her daughter, Marisol, and Kathy Wilson and her son, Jack, along with numerous nieces and nephews. Preceding Andy in death were his parents, sister Therese Francis (Antone), brother Maurice Levesque (Jacqueline), and his former wife, Virginia Domurad Levesque. In his 93 years, Andy was many things to many people. He was a son, a brother, a husband, a father, a papa, an uncle, a friend and a neighbor. Andy attended Notre Dame School, where he learned to speak English in the first grade, and Monsignor Prevost High School, both in the historic Flint neighborhood of Fall River. In his youth he delivered pots of beans in his wagon on Saturdays to a local brick oven to be baked overnight and picked them up after church on Sundays for family dinners. Andy also earned money to help his family by delivering coal and newspapers and working at Brodeur's Market. Andy was extremely proud that he never lost his French language skills and showed them off whenever an opportunity arose. After high school, he worked at Artcraft Metals, then served for four years in the US Air Force. Andy was a veteran of the Korean War Era. After the military, he worked for the Experimental Division of Pratt and Whitney Aircraft and for thirty-three years with the United States Postal Service where he served as Manager of Mail Processing and Officer in Charge. In retirement, he delivered prescriptions and medical supplies for Pleasant Drugs in Fall River, and he volunteered for almost 20 years at Sachuest Point National Wildlife Refuge, driving heavy equipment to maintain and create trails and to control invasive plants. Andy was a member of the Corky Row Club, Prevost High School Alumni, the Sampson AFB Veterans Organization, and the American Legion - Post 18 RI.
Andy loved Saint Mary's Episcopal Church in Portsmouth, dining at The Atlantic Grill following Saturday's church service, a good martini, red wine and any kind of fish. Andy found joy in staying active and took pride in growing vegetables and flowers, fixing and building things and painting his house, which required climbing a ladder into his 90s to do so. He treasured his old pickup truck and gladly lent it to anyone who wanted to use it. Andy looked forward to his yearly drive to visit Joan (Jean's sister) and her family in Florida, staying in favorite towns along the way. Andy also cherished his and Jean's yearly trips to Liberty, Maine, every September to fish and explore the outdoors. Andy loved life, people, Jean, and his family.

For those of you in the Class of 1960, sad news about my namesake Gerald "Jerry" Guay who passed away. I'm from the class of 1959 and Gerald "Gerry" Guay and admin for this page. I was looking my name up on the internet and ran across the obituary for our Prevost graduate Jerry from Branford, CT. I'm placing it here for the class of 1960 who were classmates with him. The obituary is at: https://www.wsclancy.com/obituaries/Gerald-Jerry-Guay?obId=27385207
His obituary is also here:
Gerald Normand Guay (Jerry) passed away peacefully on Saturday February 25, 2023 with his family at his side. Jerry was born in Fall River, Massachusetts, a son of the late Germaine Levesque Guay and Normand Guay. He is survived by his daughters Jennifer Correia of Newburgh, Indiana and Michelle Parenteau (husband Timothy) of Newport, New Hampshire; his brother Roger Guay of Branford and sister Nancy Cervoni of Wallingford. He is also survived by 8 beloved grandchildren: Laura, Mark, Scott, Matthew, Kelly, Christopher, Michael, and Melissa, and 9 beloved great-grandchildren: MacKenzie, Madelyn, Conor, Lachlin, Jayden, Dominic, Gabriel, Lillyana, and Ralphie, and his favorite granddog Ben. He was predeceased by his loving son Keith Guay, his son in law John Correia, and granddaughter, Stephanie. Jerry served in the United States Army. He worked for United Parcel Service for 32 years and made many good friends in Branford before retiring. He loved to spend his time traveling. He would stop at as many baseball fields as he could. He was and avid sports fan and he loved the Boston Red Sox. He will surely be missed by many.
