Default It is a sad day indeed

I will send my condolences to the Gibeault family. Many parts on my M38A1 are courtesy of his incredible resources.

I wonder what will become of his collection?

Andre was a strong supporter of OMVA, having attended many of our fall, spring and summer shows despite the long drive from Montreal. He owned and restored a very wide variety of military vehicles, many of which had been donated to museums. He will be very much missed. Brian

Never met him personally, nor had any dealings with him, but his was a name from the Canadian Collecting Fraternity that I have heard for a long long time.

Condolences to family and friends.

Default Dear Andre

You will be missed. You were an inspiration to many others in the Hobby. Always fair with your prices and trades and the personal efforts that you made to attend numerous OMVA flea markets were greatly appreciated.... God only knows that you travelled great distance to assist other ans socialize...it cwertainly was not a bread winner for you.

We visited his residence or should I say his collection on a few occasion and even had the pleasure of having lunch with Jacqueline or Quiquine as ANdre called her...... their hospitality was overwhelming.

We will miss you dearly.
