Maurice Joseph L'abbe, affectionately known as "Moe" and "Papa Moe", passed away on January 13, 2024, at the age of 76 in Frisco, Texas. Born on August 12th, 1947, in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, Moe was a beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother and friend to all. Moe was an outgoing, kind-hearted individual who had a great sense of humor. He was known for his fun-loving nature and his remarkable work ethic. Moe had a successful career as a hockey player, retiring with the Dallas Blackhawks, and later became the proud owner of a dry-cleaning business. He excelled in both professions, demonstrating his dedication and determination. In his free time, Moe enjoyed a variety of hobbies. He had a passion for hockey as a player, a fan, and most of all, a coach. Throughout coaching, Moe's players gained a tremendous respect for him as well as the game and learned skills they carry to this day. He also loved cooking, gardening to the point of obsession and spending quality time with his family. Moe found relaxation in solving sudoku puzzles every morning and enjoyed playing cards with family and friends. He had a knack for entertaining guests and always made sure everyone felt welcome, included and well-fed. Moe will be deeply missed by his surviving family members, including his wife of 52 years, Elizabeth, affectionately known as Betty, their daughter Michelle and her children Tyler and Sarah, daughter Kimberly and her husband Dave and their children Carter and Ava, and their son Kevin and his wife Robin and their daughter Melia.
