Reno was born in Frenchville, ME on October 2, 1929 and was a son of the late Albert and Laura (Rossignol) Michaud. Prior to retiring in 1987, he was employed at Marlin Rockwell Corp., Plainville. Reno loved nothing better than living in the quiet solitude of Northern Maine, spending time walking the trails with his snow shoes, riding his quad either alone or with his friends and being with his daughters and family. This was how he enjoyed his retirement. He met and married the love of his life, Bernadette. They spent nearly 20 years together until her death. It was a few years later that he was lucky enough to meet and remain dear friends with Selma Cyr. Those close to Reno knew he was a man of few words but he was the sweetest and kindest soul. Reno will be missed dearly.
