Like his father Antoine, Laurent worked on the Yukon River boats, then started a transportation business, the first to use a truck in the Yukon. He was also known to be a history buff; he was a founding member of the Yukon Transportation Museum, the Yukon Order of Pioneers and the Yukon Historical and Museum Society which founded the MacBride Museum.
