Marie Andrée, there are so many words that can be used to describe the brilliant shining light that was your husband. With his wonderful personality and words of wisdom he touched my life immensely and for this he will always be remembered.

Dear Marc, Natalie, & Robert
We are very sad to learn of your Dad's
passing. We last saw him in the mid 1990's when he joined us for dinner in London. We remember him as a devoted father, and a terrific neighbor with a happy outlook on life.
May you all be spared further sorrow.
