My dearest Pauline and Alexander,
Please accept my sincerest condolences with the passing of Sylvain. it was with a heavy heart that I was advised of his sudden passing. Many years have already gone by when we used to all get together as the "Crocket Street Mafia" and enjoy some good times, laughs and a few drinks. Sylvain will always be remembered as the "Gentle Giants" with his smile so radiant. I will always remember him gong up the ladder to help me as I was too scared of heights. He was a wonderful friend, father and husband. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family during these trying times. Stephan xo

Our hearts are broken for you both in this tragic loss. Please know that you both are in our thoughts and prayers through this time. We could not get up for visitation through the storm from Saint John but thankfully prayers transcend bad weather and we are sending them up on your behalf.

Hi Pauline,
Our hearts are broken for you! There are no words that will mend your broken heart but know we are thinking of you Alexander, and the family!

Sylvain was a true gentleman and the kindest soul anyone could ever have the pleasure of meeting! Our hearts are with you and Alex at this very difficult time! May the memories carry u on and give you strength to face each day with a smile, just like he would have wanted! You were both a testimony of true love!

Dear Pauline and Alexander,
I was greatly saddened to hear of the passing of Sylvain. I cannot fathom your loss and yet wish to also express my thanks. I wish to thank you for sharing one whom you love so much with so many. Sylvain has many shipmates whose deployments were many more memorable and enjoyable with Sylvain on board. His infectious smile, at times for no good reason, lit up a room and hinted at mischief. Thank you for sharing him with us shipmates so that we would understand what a good husband and a good father looked and acted like. Your sharing of Sylvain also brought into our lives a friend and an example. He was an example of a compliment that is used to describe Sylvain over the years and that is Good People. Man enough to count all of his strokes when golfing and gentleman enough to act like he didnt notice the rest of us improving our ball position in hopes of catching him. Sylvain was a friend and will be missed by many a sailor. Thank you for loving him enough to share him with us for so many years. Sylvain shall always remain, Good People.

Pauline, Alexander, family and freinds, I want to extend my deepest sympathies to all of you. I had the privilege of sailing with Sylvain on NCSM Ville de Quebec and he was one of the finest sailors Ive sailed with. Always a smile on his face and a willingness to help made him someone I looked forward to working with every day. Fair winds and following seas Sylvain, the watch is secure.

Please accept my sympathy on the loss of Sylvain. I only knew him through the Women's Institute when he accompanied the Lieutenant Governor's to a couple of our functions. He did ask me for my fudge recipe and told me at another W.I. function that he had tried it and it was good. I too am a loyal fan of his Habs.

My deepest condolences as an MLA, but even more so as a friend. Whenever I attended an event that the LG was at, I always looked for Sylvain. I always enjoyed our friendly discussion. Thank you Sylvain, for your service to our country, our province and our queen. My fondest memory was at jerry and cathy's wedding in the pool...where's Waldo? God Speed my friend.
