Default Andre

It is so sad to learn today of Andre's passing. He has been a good friend for many years. My condolences to his family and friends.

To the HMV community he will be best remembered for his superior military vehicle restorations and his generosity. Andre's restorations always included the best and most complete kit to properly showcase the vehicle.

Andre was a consistent supporter of the OMVA swap meets, coming from a very long way to set up and sell at very fair prices.

He will be greatly missed.

Brian

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.
