To the Family of Jacques LEMAY.
I recently read in "The Quarterly" about the passing of your husband/father/brother. I recall and held "Cpl" LEMAY with respect and friendship. He was our Troop Counsellor at Depot in 74/75. He helped us a lot and was admired by all. I last heard from him when he responded to a note I wrote him while he was seconded to Bermuda. I am very sorry for your loss. God bless him.

To my dear friend Dr Lida Kratka (and as a former colleague of Jacques) there are no words to express the sadness of such a tragic loss a couple of days before Christmas. But rest assured that your professional and personal dedication to the RCMP members will bring you support and friendship as you gave to each one of us for over 30 years. Sincerely D. Poirier

Dear Lida and family,
It is with great sadness that I learned of Jacque's death. Our paths crossed many times in the RCMP having worked with him in Regina, Ottawa, Fredericton and with the Pearson Peacekeeping Centre after we had both retired from the Force. He was a true gentleman and will be dearly missed. My deepest condolences to you and the family. My prayers are with you.

I'm in shock. I'm so very sorry to Jacques' wife, family and friends. I worked with Jacques a couple of times over the years and we reconnected during a special breakfast with other retired members and again at a retirement party for another Member. It's not fair and again please accept my deepest condolences. He was a very kind and special man.
