My memories with Mr. and Mrs. Desrochers span a short chat on the golf course, a political gathering or talking at Laurier House. Whether walking or sitting in a wheel chair, Mr. Desrochers was always so genuine and pleasant. The love, time and care I witnessed makes any family envious.

A finer gentleman I seldom met that Louis. He was an upstanding model for all that had the pleasure to have met or known him. My condolences to your family and friends.

Mr. Desrochers was one of my favorite Air Canada passengers. He was a true gentleman, distinguished and best of all easy to talk with. My sincere condolences to Mrs. Desrochers and all his family.

Mrs. Desrochers and Family,

My sincere condolences on Louis's passing.
He was an amazing man and role model for all that had the pleasure of knowing him. I count myself as one of those lucky people.

I will forever remember his gentle but unbridled wisdom, intellect, but most importantly Louis's compassion and love for his family and friends.

He was so kind to my mom and our entire family.

With utmost respect and love,
Kevin Hannigan

Sinceres sympathies a toute la famille. Vous avez perdu un tres cher homme.

Sincere condolences to Marcelle and family. I have many fond recollections of the Desrochers family visits to Jasper with mon oncle Cy, tante Lillian and grandmère entertaining everyone. His dedication to the franco-albertain cause is well known and, in Jasper, has been recognized by having the local school named after him. He will be missed.

We send our deepest sympathies to the extended Desrochers family. The rich legacy of Louis lives on in his very talented children, grandchildren and great-grandchild. He will be deeply missed by the francophone and francophile community of Alberta. Love and prayers are with you all, from our family in Ottawa.

Isabelle, John, John, Patrick and Family,
My sincerest condolences to you all on the passing of your Father/Grandfather. Your Dad was a special man and I know you will always keep him close in thoughts, memories and prayers. Wishing him eternal peace.

Louis was a gentleman and a remarkable citizen, Albertan, and Canadian. Every contact with him was a pleasure. He will be missed more than most Albertans will ever realize.

Mes condoléances à Claire et la famille DesRochers. Votre père manquera à la communauté francophone ainsi que ceux, tels que ma mère, qui étaient parmis les fondateurs du comité CPF (Canadian Parents for French). M DesRochers était toujours charmant et sympathique envers nous, les petit(e)s francophiles anglophones! Amitiés, Jody Farrell

Sincere condolescences Claire. I know how much you loved, respected and cared for him. Years before I met you, I remeber him coming into The Journal newsroom. He had such an air of dignity and warmth about him. Ron and Liz

Louis était un homme admirable qui a beaucoup contribué à plusieurs secteurs de notre francophonie albertaine, sans parler de son apport remarquable au niveau national. Il nous manquera beaucoup, il va sans dire. Mes plus sincères condoléances à toute la famille Desrochers.

Aurevoir monsieur. I will always remember our cribbage games. My thoughts and prayers are with madame and the family.

Mes sincères condoléances à toute la famille, et tout spécialement à toi, ma chère Claire! Louis A. Desrochers est un nom (et un homme) que l'on n'est pas prêt d'oublier. Je lui souhaite une belle envolée!

Un grand Canadien, plus grand que nature, doté d'amour et de sagesse et de générosité, qui a tellement contribué à la qualité de vie de sa communauté et son pays. Mes sincères condoléances à toute la famille Desrochers.

Claire et Pierre, mes très sincères condoléances! Votre père, pillier de la communauté francophone de l'Alberta, sera bien manqué! Un homme de vision, il savait mettre en place ce qu'il fallait pour arriver à ce qu'il croyait.
