Born in Minneapolis, he was the son of the late William Landry and the late Yvonne (Levesque) Landry Gosselin. He was the husband of the late Louise (Renaud) Landry to whom he was married for 45 years. He was also the brother of the late Richard “Dick” Landry and the late Raymond Gosselin.

He lived a full and vibrant life and enjoyed golf, tennis, sailing, skiing, and loved to travel within the United States and abroad.

Mr. Landry’s greatest joy came from spending time with his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Whether it was family Sunday dinners on Irving Street or summer gatherings at the cottage on the Watuppa, he was happiest when surrounded by family and friends. The best partner, father, Pépère, “Pep”, and friend anyone could hope for, he will be sorely missed by all.
