A wonderful Gentleman the world has lost a beautiful light.,
I worked with Mr Dussault for two years in the 1990s, as a French editor at his Toronto Waterfront office. I was working freelance at that time but always enjoyed going there twice a week, as Mr Dussault was such a very kind, delicate and distinguished gentleman.
With apologies for reacting so late to the sad news.
