I worked with Francois for several years at Petit Casimir Memorial School, alongside him as a teacher, then actually hired him when I became Principal. Francois was extremely helpful when it came to technology; he did an overhaul for our entire system and network here in the school, and made everything workable and manageable. He would work long hours, was dedicated to the job and improving the school/student success. A bit of humour; Francois was subjected to the school band every day after school as we practiced (we were in neighboring classrooms), and he would often joke about hearing our songs in his sleep. Expressing my condolences to his family, friends, and everybody affected. I attached a staff photo of his most recent year at PCMS.

Es sympathies à toute la famille, deux petit souvenirs de François. Lors d'une visite chez nous de la famille, François a construit avec les filles une bonne femme de neige portant une robe de princesse. Lors d'une autre visite, encore en hiver, Il est sorti et a pelleté tout le devant de la maison pour faire une place suppémentaire de stationnement et pouvoir monter les murs de notre fort plus haut. Merci François d'Avoir ét dans nos vies, JE garderai toujours un bon souvenir de toi, de ton sourire et de ta ffaçon simple de voir la vie.

Mon oncle, tu nous manques déjà énormément.

Francois,

Although we only worked together for one week it was a pleasure to have worked with someone with the love and compassion you had for the Indigenous people. You have ispired me to continue to educated and instill the importance of educate to the First Nation people and I thank you for time and effort you have given to us.
