To the Champoux family:

I was greatly saddened to learn of Andy's passing. Andy & I worked closely together for a number of years while we were both in uniform in DND. We had worked together for a couple of years before I discovered how wonderful a singing voice he possessed. It was was truly a gift from God! Listening in amazement that first time as he sang the Ave Maria at a holiday get together, it reminded me of the first time I heard Jim Nabors sing. Andy was a great guy.

May Andy rest in the peace of God.

My deepest sympathy on the death of your father Andre. His talents were so very much appreciated at Assumption Church Choir, where he attended a few years ago. "To sing is to pray twice", and your dad sang with such feeling, it was indeed a gift he cherished deeply.
May he rest now in peace with the Lord.

Dear Lou, Bob, Pierre and Jacques
I am so sorry that Andy is no longer with us. He holds a soft place in my heart, and the hearts of Peter, Michael and of course Geneve. I always appreciated his sense of humour and of course, his strong feelings for his family. We will miss him very much - his love and warmth reached us even across all the miles.
Love and best regards

Bonjour/Hello My sympathies for your loss of André. He was a member of the choir at my Parish - Assumption in Vanier. I always loved to hear him sing Ave Maria. I purchased his CDs and they will remain as a wonderful memory of him. He was inspiring in his attitude towards life. Je vous donne une expression de mes condoléances encore un fois. Il est tellement triste que André nous ait quitter. Mais il est avec le Dieu.
