Mr. Speaker, a veritable institution of Saint-Jérôme has passed away. Robert “Bob” Vermette left his mark on generations of athletes back home. He was a scorekeeper, a timekeeper and unconditional fan of all those who played and learned with him. He did not have any favourites. To him, they were all champions. For more than half a century, whether in hockey or baseball, Bob Vermette was a model of dedication who always went above and beyond. His involvement spanned generations and it was not unusual to see him keep score for players whose parents and grandparents he had previously done the same for. He received many honours, including the Henri‑Decarnelle award from the Fonds de l'athlète des Laurentides for his remarkable involvement within various sports associations. Bob was loved by everyone, including his good friend Marc Bourcier, the mayor of Saint‑Jérôme. He will be greatly missed. We will never forget Mr. Vermette.
