Jacques Marcel Racette passed away on November 30 at the age of 88.

Survived by his wife Bohdanna, son Charles (Colleen Kemp and grandson Daniel), and step daughters Natalka (Gregory and grandchildren Kosta and Bo), and Motria (Stephane and grandchildren Maksym and Mateo).

He was a man of style and elegance who took great pride in his work, and left his mark as part of the design teams at Canadian national museums and parks. Some notables include the crazy kitchen, the exhibits of the mammal sections of Museum of Nature, and the former whale exhibit at the World Trade Centre in Ottawa. With his wife and Bojak business partner Bohdanna, they designed a traveling exhibit to tell the history of the WW1 internment camps in Canada. The house he built in his early 20s still stands in Kemp park.

He will be deeply missed by his family, as will his Christmas tourtière and oatmeal cookies.
