Wherever they are, Denis and Lucie are probably panicking.

A man who found a wedding ring with those two names inscribed inside it at Pearson Airport last week has taken to social media in search of the band’s owner.

Mathieu Doiron, a marketing manager for a New Brunswick food company, was travelling from Moncton, N.B. to Orlando, Fla. with a stop in Toronto on the morning of March 4.

An elderly woman who had been sitting next to him on the plane was having trouble with her luggage, so he offered to help. As he was wheeling her bag between the check-in and security areas of Terminal 1, outside a Subway restaurant, the bag started dragging.

“So I stopped to see what was stopping the bag and I found the wedding ring,” said Doiron. It was caught under the wheel.

Inside the band was an inscription, written in French – “LUCIE À DENIS, 11 AOÛT ’90” – suggesting an Aug. 11, 1990 wedding.

Doiron handed the ring to Julia Fillmore, senior project manager with the Greater Toronto Airport Authority, who had seen him pick it up. Fillmore has since turned it in the Pearson’s customer service department.

But first, Doiron took a picture of the ring. He posted it to Facebook, and it has since been shared close to 4,500 times.

“Let’s share and help get this guy out of the dog house!” wrote Doiron in the post.

“What a great guy,” said Fillmore of Doiron. “He took it to another level, and it’s really nice to see somebody who cares that much to go that distance so that somebody’s wedding ring, which is so sentimental, can be easily traced.”

“I would hope that it’s a sentimental piece,” said Doiron. “I’ve lost something of value to me before, and I’d love to have somebody try to make an effort to give it back to me.”
