Over the years, Denis has quite literally helped build Williams — foot by foot! We did the math: thanks to his precision and marathon-like work ethic, he produced around 2,945,000 linear feet of railings, the equivalent of 900 kilometers — enough to connect Montréal to Gaspésie entirely in aluminum railings!

But beyond the impressive numbers, there’s the man himself — the one who knows our machines inside and out, who can spot a problem before it happens, who trained countless colleagues, and who has witnessed every era of Williams, from the Ménard family to Pat, Julie, and Dom today.

Denis is our “Swiss clock”: always punctual, always reliable, always in good spirits. His work? Always flawless. His discretion, thoughtfulness, and quiet laughter will be greatly missed — as will his invaluable expertise.

On behalf of the entire Williams family, thank you, Denis, for your loyalty, professionalism, and unwavering values that inspire us every day.

Now, enjoy your well-deserved retirement — after traveling the equivalent of Montréal to Gaspésie, we hope you’ll take the time to enjoy every kilometer at your own pace. ❤️
