I was sorry to hear of the passing of Yvon. I met Yvon briefly in 2005 at CFB Kingston, Ontario. During our chance meeting, we found we were related. Yvon’s father and my grandfather were brothers. We had a highly informative conversation about our families. I found Yvon to be very friendly and an outgoing person, and am glad we had the opportunity to meet.
My sincere condolences to his family.

We will all miss you Yvon, you were the best brother anyone could ask for, kind hearted, generous to a fault, and always had a smile on your face, even though we knew you were in pain. Always there to give a helping hand, even though it was you that needed the hand. You will never be forgotten dear brother, and best friend.
