André D. GAUTHIER

Colonel Gauthier, it was an honour having had the opportunity to have known you. Your art work holds a special place for many, including myself. Rest in peace. Securitas!

J'ai eu l'occasion de rencontrer le Colonel André Gauthier lors de mon séjour au Collège de la Défense Nationale, à Kingston. André était en effet une personne fort intéressante à connaître. Il exprimait toujours clairement ses idées et ses commentaires incluaient souvent une note philosophique signalant son expérience remarquable. Ce qui m'avait aussi très impressionné de la part d'André, c'était sa grande passion et son habilité exceptionelle dans le domaine de la sculpture. Ses créations artistiques s'orientaient vers la vie et activités militaires canadiennes, produisant ainsi des oeuvres imposantes et très appréciées par ses collègues et le public.
Mes condoléances à la famille d'André Gauthier.

We are very sorry to hear about André Passing and all of our sympathies to you and your family from the Respect Campaign.
When we meet André 3 years ago and saw him on Saturday the 21st of Oct 2017 for the opening , who would have guessed that our commissioned would have been his last major work of Art. He was quite pleased when he saw it and the importance it has for Montreal and Canada. We will be talking about this monument for years to come since it is the first Canadian monument to the honour of the Vet and Canadian forces members that suffer from PTSD.

André had a great gift and his art across Canada are the witness.
