Achille was rare among men who saw beauty in all things. We knew the pleasure of his company for too short a time.

It was my pleasure to have known Achille for 48 years. He was an honorary member of our family and was a great friend to my Uncle Jack. We will miss him.

We were very saddened to learn of Achille's passing. The Rochester art community will be the poorer for his loss. Hy, we extend to you and to Achille's family our deepest sympathy.
