Oui le temps, si précieux pour nous toutes et tous, s'écoule en des moments par trop rapides mais tout aussi rythmés que les saisons. Ce temps qui vient de se figer pour Paul nous glace toutes et tous par sa soudaineté, nous laissant franchir le seuil de cette année 2019 2020 avec une image.
Cette image est celle de son geste, devenu célèbre lors de nos conversations amicales ou professionnelles, lorsque Paul redressait le positionnement de ses lunettes sur son nez avec deux doigts de sa main droite pour signifier son étonnement (pour être politiquement correct) tout en nous écoutant attentivement dans nos effusions verbales parfois hors contexte.
Ce soir, nous pouvons lui rendre ce geste !
A Carantec (France, Bretagne) où tu auras passé quelques jours, Martine et moi serons en communion par la pensée avec vous toutes et tous en entourant WENDY de nos chaleureuses pensées pour la remercier d’avoir été pour Paul cette Fée le comblant de bonheur durant ses heures, ses jours, ses semaines, ses mois et ses années de retraite.

Yes, time, so precious for all of us, flows in moments that are too fast at the pace of the seasons.
This clock which has just stopped clicking in Paul's watch, freezes us all by his suddenness, letting us cross the threshold of this year 2019 2020 with one image.
This image is related to this gesture, which became famous during our friendly or professional conversations, when Paul repositioning his glasses on his nose with two fingers of his right hand to indicate his amazement (to be politically correct) while carefully listening to us in our smoky explanations sometimes out of context.
This December 23, 2019, we can return this gesture to you Paul ! We already miss you very much.
From Carantec (in France) where you spent some time, Martine and I will be in communion by thought with you all surrounding WENDY with our warm thoughts in the aim to thank her for having been the person overwhelming him with tenderness, happiness during his hours, days, weeks, months and years of retirement.
Repose en Paix, Paul.

My deepest condolences to Wendy and the Francoeur family's as you walk through the valley; know that my thoughts and prayers are with you.
I can attest, that while Paul will never be forgotten, the sting of his absence will wane.

Alain, Daniel and the entire Francoeur Family:

Nancy and I offer our most sincere condolences on the passing of Paul-Henri. While we had not met him, he is clearly an honored man.

I know the sting of losing a parent, and how deep the wounds can be, and I share in your grief.

Nancy and I hope that you all cherish your memories of Paul-Henri and that you each find comfort in your pleasant remembrances of him in the days, weeks, months and years ahead.

God bless Paul-Henri and you all.
