Chers Mme Fortin, Steve et Carolyn, parents et amis,
C'est avec un immense chagrin que j'ai appris le décès tragique de M. Fortin. Quel grand homme! Que de bons souvenirs de lui! Un homme d'une grande gentillesse et toujours prêt à rendre service. Il n'y avait que des solutions, jamais de problème. Il avait le coeur à l'ouvrage et un grand respect pour ses clients. J'ai souvent échangé avec lui au sujet de ses enfants et petits-enfants et sur le quotidien de la vie. Je lisais une grande fierté sur son visage. Je lui confiais, à lui et son équipe, mon auto les yeux fermés. L'article de Caroline Tison le décrit à merveille. C'était un homme intègre, honnête et agréable, en plus d'un conseiller hors-pair. Il me manquera beaucoup. Il faisait partie des gens que j'aime beaucoup. À sa famille et ses proches, j'offre mes plus sincères condoléances. Qu'il veille toujours sur vous.

We only found out today - have not had vehicle problems for a while. 

We feel we have lost a long time friend and Valois neighbour. Besides the many years of vehicle related encounters, Lillian used to chat with Real when she was helping Rick at CVR across the street.

He will be missed in so many ways.

Sorry and shocked to hear of the passing of Our Real, he was a great honest man. He will be sadly missed.

Reading all these testimonials shows me that I was not alone in considering Réal a pillar of the Valois community. Honest, caring, friendly, always remembered each of his clients'names and their cars. He'd often tell me that such-and-such a repair wasn't necessary, or more costly than it was worth, and wouldn't charge for small diagnoses or repairs. Our sincere condolences all of his family and close friends, of which he had many. He will be sorely missed.

I was so sorry to hear of Real Fortin's sudden and unexpected passing last weekend.  He was such an honest and kind man, always smiling.   My deepest condolences to his wife and family.   RIP Mr. Fortin you will always be remembered for your honesty and integrity.
