I met Jacques when he first moved here about 1986 and told him about the house in Spencer, which he bought! I'll never forget that first day when Jacques and his family came to look at the house and his daughter Kim and my daughter Kristen, who was the same age first met. They said " hi my name is Kristen, my name is Kim, let's be best friends, and they did, and still are! We shared many memories with Jacques and his wonderful family, memories which we will all cherish forever! I spent many years working with him, and can attest to his brilliant mind and vast knowledge of computers!
I want to express our deepest sympathies to Chris, Kim and Karen, Cheryl and I are deeply saddened by his loss and hope he had a peaceful end!
