We were so sorry to hear about your loss. It’s been a long time since our days at the airport, but we still remember you both and wanted to reach out.
Please accept our deepest condolences. We hope you’re finding small moments of peace and that you’re surrounded by love and support during this difficult time.
Chers Catherine, Sophie, Gabriel, Charles-Etienne, Alexandre et Madeleine,
Les mots me manquent pour vous exprimer mes sincères condoléances. C’est tellement difficile d’accepter le départ de Philippe. Je ne peux imaginer ce que vous avez traversé depuis l’annonce de sa maladie et son depart inattendu. Que Dieu vous donne la force et le courage dont vous avez tous besoin pour surmonter cette douloureuse épreuve. Que Dieu accueille Philippe auprès de Lui et qu’il repose en paix. Vous êtes dans mes pensées et mes prières.
Je vous aime tous très très fort. Je suis près de vous malgré la distance .
Philippe will always be remembered as a softly spoken, kind hearted gentleman with unwavering commitment to his family and resolute professionalism throughout his career at CBSA and CIC. It was an honour knowing Philippe for so many years and I will miss our witty banter and reflections on life. Rest easy my friend.
Catherine and family,
My deepest condolences. May you, your children and family find comfort in your memories.
Although we no longer worked as closely together, when we saw one another, his face would light up when speaking about you and your family.
Philippe was a good man and always carried out his duties with integrity.
I met Philippe when he came to Pearson. His playful smile, sense of humour, eager and dedicated work ethic, respect for everyone and direct, firm but pleasant attitude, made him a very dear member of our Immigration family.
When he confided his love for our dear Catherine, we all shared their joy.
He was a trusted unwavering friend.
It is really heartbreaking that he left too soon.
My deepest sympathy to Catherine and family. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. I hope you find peace and comfort in the loving memories. May the Lord give you strength.
Philippe, a man whose quiet strength, intelligence, and steadfast dedication left an indelible mark on all who had the honour to work alongside him.
I first met Philippe during my tenure with the RCMP Integrated National Security Enforcement Team. From the outset, it was clear that Philippe was no ordinary person. As a member of CBSA, he brought not only professionalism and skill but also great enthusiasm for national security work that inspired those around him. What began as a professional acquaintance quickly evolved into a friendship, rooted in mutual respect and a shared purpose. Philippe possessed an encyclopedic knowledge of listed terrorist entities that was nothing short of astonishing. He could recount, without hesitation, the history, ideology, country of origin, and operational reach of virtually every known terrorist group. This wasn’t just academic expertise; it was knowledge honed through years of field experience, dedication, and a fierce commitment to keeping Canadians safe. His insight and counsel were sought after and valued by agencies across the Greater Toronto Area.
After our time at INSET, Philippe continued to serve with distinction as the CBSA liaison to the RCMP’s Greater Toronto Area Integrated Money Laundering Investigative Team, where I had the privilege of serving as the NCO I/C. There, as always, he brought integrity, good humour, and a tireless work ethic. Through it all, his passion for public service never faded, nor did his humility or grace. Whenever he visited the unit, we would ultimately adjourn for coffee, where countless conversations were had. These often ranged from operational matters to philosophical discussions about life, culture, and family (and discussions about fishing, the Eastern Townships, and the Saguenay region of Quebec).
But beyond the professional accolades, what I admired most about Philippe was who he was outside of work. A devoted husband, a loving father, and a man of deep faith, he lived his values quietly but powerfully. His love for his wife, Catherine, and their children was evident in every conversation, and he carried his responsibilities as a family man with the same honour he brought to his career.
His passing is a profound loss to his family, his colleagues, and to the country he served with such pride. My heartfelt condolences go out to Catherine, his children, and all who had the privilege of knowing and working with Philippe.
And when my time comes, should I be so fortunate as to approach the pearly gates, I do not doubt that Philippe will be standing post there too, ever-vigilant, ever-loyal, still guarding the threshold with that same calm assurance and quiet smile.
So long, Philippe. You served us well. You will be missed.
I’m so sorry to hear about Philippe’s passing, what a profound loss. Please know that my thoughts are with you and your family. Wishing you strength and comfort in the days ahead.
Dearest Catherine,
I am very sorry to hear of your loss. Although it has been such a long time since we last saw each other, memories of working with both you and Philippe are so dear to my heart. My deepest condolences to you and your family. You will be in my prayers.
Catherine my deepest condolences to you and your lovely brood of children. This morning, I watched the streamed video of Philippe’s service and found it to be a heart warming service. The choir sang beautifully and I can imagine Philippe’s voice ringing true with them in song.
It was good to see the presence of the CBSA Honour Guard in tribute to Philippe’s valuable service.
Catherine and Family,
Just hearing of your loss and my heart goes out to all of you. I cannot imagine the depth of grief you are feeling over the loss of Philippe. He was the epitome of professionalism and respected by so many.
Sending you heartfelt prayers.
My heartfelt condolences to you Catherine and family. I remember the constant smile on your face when you talked about Philippe. I’ve never seen a couple so in love. Sending you My thoughts and prayers. Take care Catherine♥️
So terribly sorry. Even after all these years I can still remember Philippe’s thunderous laughter. So strong it would shake the walls!
So very sorry.

Nos pensées et nos prières sont avec vous pendant cette période difficile.
Dear Catherine,
My deepest condolences to you and your family. Philippe was my closest friend in high school and college. I will always remember his brilliant mind, compassion and generosity. We spent endless hours together, notably talking about our shared passion for history and politics. I also recall his great sense of humor, and encyclopedic knowledge. We were jointly and closely involved in many initiatives over the years, including Genies en Herbe, the Jeunes Entreprises and volunteer work overseas. He was always dedicated and passionate in all these endeavours. We lost track of each other over the years, having been in different cities and, ultimately, countries. I deeply regret that we were not able to reconnect. My deepest sympathies in these very challenging circumstances. Kind regards,
Catherine, Sophie, Gabriel, Charles-Étienne, Alexandre and Madeleine.
I had the privilege of working alongside your husband and father for many years, although we worked different agencies. I can tell you that at work, his actions made a difference to make communities a better and safer place to be. He was honest, hardworking and genuinely cared about others. Beyond the workplace we shared many wonderful chats about mutual interests and found that we had much in common. I will miss him very much.
From my family to yours, please accept our deepest sympathies on the loss of such a wonderful person.
