I am saddened to hear of Andre's passing. I had known him as a colleague for many years and while once attending training in the Netherlands with a group of other Canadians, Andre was there and several times per week he would have us all over to this hotel room where he would have us sample a selection of fine wine and cheese that he had sourced locally. His friendly demeanor and soft spoken voice made him a pleasure to be around. Condolences to his family and friends everywhere.
