It is with a lot of sadness that I'm writing you this message. But first of all, my thoughts are with you Triena, Joanne, Dan (& family) and Kristina (& family). Unfortunately we cannot be there because of schedule conflict but I'm with all of you in thoughts. I'm glad that we have been able to go to Windsor last September and have a chat with him. Although he was in a hospital bed, he found energy to tell a couple of jokes to my son and my girlfriend. Ça c'est bien lui! Dear Aunt Triena, thank you for everything, you have been wonderful for him. Dear cousins Joanne, Dan and Kristina if you need to talk please don't hesitate. Same for you Triena. My son Pascal and my girlfriend Danielle are expressing their deepest condolences to all of you. Mon Oncle Lambert, you have been a source of inspiration since my early days. You have transferred me your passion for aviation, astronomy and meteorology. You have transferred to my brother Alain the passion for electronics, and you have been successful transferring your passion for Flight Simulator to my son Pascal. You even maintain my Mom passion for aviation with your email, calendar, books, pictures etc. I will miss so much all of your emails. Whether it was for jokes, airplanes, stars or space shuttle pictures, your emails were always appreciated. I can also remember, before the internet and email era, the letters we were writing to each other or the Commodore 64 discussions we had. I also remember when we went to your place for Christmas and you gave me that little professor calculator to learn how to do maths. My son also used it for the same purposes, knowing it initially came from you and Triena. Wow! that's long time ago. I can also remember the letter I received from the NASA with the signed picture of Bob Crippen from the space shuttle Columbia, etc., etc., all that because of you. Mon Oncle, you were much more than an uncle for me. I think we had so many things in common. It is sad that we lived far from each other, because in my heart you were very close to me. Talking about heart, it was always good to see how much love you and Triena had for each other. Also in that aspect you have been a source of inspiration for me. Now it is time for me to say goodbye. I hope that from where you are, you will be able to see the stars the way you always wanted to. I will always remember & love you. Repose en paix mon Oncle. Your nephew Benoît.
