God saw you getting tired
And a cure was not to be,
So he put his arms around you
And whispered
“Come To Me”
With tearful eyes we watched you,
And saw you pass away,
And although we loved you dearly,
We could not make you stay,
A golden heart stopped beating,
Hard working hands at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us,
He only takes the best.

What I admired most about Jacques was his integrity: He let you know just where things stood and you could count on his word. A handshake was enough to seal a deal. You never had to worry about Jacques going back on his word.

"The Lord bless thee
and keep thee;
The Lord make His face shine upon thee and be gracious unto thee;
The Lord lift up His countenance upon thee;
and give thee peace."

To the Family, Friends and co-workers of Jacques...we would like to pass along our sincerest sympathy for your loss. My wife and I worked closely with Jacques when we made the transition from Karhu to WWW back in Nov of 1997. Jacques was very kind to us as I am sure he is remembered in the same way by each of you!
It is comforting to know God is in good hands...and Merrell shoes!
Peace,
Douglas and Karyl Corey

To all who knew Jacques . . .
Please accept my deepest sympathies and know that my heart goes out to you and my thoughts and prayers are with you, your families, and your friends.
Jacques has left behind a “legend” with all that he has accomplished. May our memories bring us comfort as we mourn our loss - as it was God’s Blessing that brought him into our lives and God’s Blessing that ended his pain.
I will always remember a close friend’s words regarding our leader:...
