JF ( thats what we nicknamed him) came to work for me in Ottawa at Metlife early in his career as an actuary in the late 70's. We were sorry when he moved back to Montreal but always remember him as a great person, easy going, respectful, pleasure to be around. Just saw his "in memorium" notice at the SOA meeting in San Diego. My condolences to the family, although we didn't keep in touch, I always considered JF a friend from our connection way back.

Best,
Glen Keller

Dear Anne-MArie and Noemie,
I am so sorry to hear about the paaing of Jean-Francois. I only knew him from Curling but thouroughly enjoyed my interactions with him. He was always in good spirits, competitive and fun to have a beer with after the game. We are all better for knowing him and he will be missed. My thoughts are with you at this sad time.

Regards,
Mark
