Guy was an artist in his soul and in his everyday life. He was a painter, musician, scenarist, comedian and a damn good tennis player. He could draw anything on any piece of material with any kind of tool he had in hand. He played organ, accordion, harmonica, silver spoon and the jew's harp. He was passionate of photography and cinema. He was probably one of the first in his neighborhood to own a cine-camera and produce his own scenarios. He even played in his own productions in what we called silent movies. Man, was he funny. He made us laugh to tears... I had the chance to play tennis with him two or tree times a week during a few years and I don't remember ever beating him... Well maybe a few times but I suspect he let me win. Unfortunately, Alzheimer started to ruined his life and the life of all his loved ones for the past ten years. The last three years were sad painful and so unfair. Guy died December first of this year and we celebrated his funerals yesterday in a crowded church. I wanted to pay a tribute to this man right here because if it wasn't of him, I wouldn't play music and compose melodies today. I wouldn't have a PC and write programs either. I wouldn't be as passionate and sensible as I am. I wouldn't be an artist, I wouldn't even be... Thanks dad for all the good things you taught me and all the joy and love you gave me. You will be forever remembered and cherished. Rest in peace now and one day I will join you with your new band. Your little boy. Last edited: Dec 17, 2017
My deepest condolences, Safran. I truly believe that to live in the hearts of those we loved is not to die. Your father will live in your heart and your art, for sure.
My condolences for your loss my friend. I lost my mom seven years ago on a tragic accident and all i can say, if there is some, the loss of someone so close to us, is irreplaceable. Wounds like this never exactly heal, it feels like a part of you is gone forever. So it is something we have to learn to live with, life goes on and makes no exceptions. Time can be a good friend on such tragic occasions. Take your time my friend, remember him and cherish his memory. My best wishes for strength and endurance to you and your family. Babs
My sincere condolences. I think your dad can be proud of you and he would have enjoyed to be honored by you in this thread (deepest apologies if this expression is somehow not appropriate, I hope you know what I mean ).
Very sorry to hear that bro. I know pain and sadness. You will never be the same again, it aint f-ing fair, nothing we can do but remember them and keep them in our hearts.
So sorry for your loss. It sounds like you have many fond memories of your father. I hope you find comfort in those memories and that you never take them for granted because sadly, not all people are that fortunate. Be well.
I'm sorry to hear for your loss. My condolences to you and your family. I'm honored and blessed to learn about your father. There's always a great song nobody knows it exist until it has been discovered. I find this true for great artist too. Your father is a great guy.
I'm very saddened for your loss. Your father was a fantastic fellow and through your memories of him you will continue to learn and grow, for his influence has given you the gift to experience the world in your own unique and creative way. His gift to you, that spark which creates light and cleaves through the darkness is eternal and everlasting. RIP Guy Savard. Last edited by a moderator: Dec 18, 2017

Yes indeed, Guy was a very talented guy and he also loved turning words and phrases into jokes and funny word games. He would have loved your line @Herr Durr . Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for your precious thoughts and kindness. It brings a lot of soothing comfort in these sad days.
My fathers name is Guy so when I saw the name in the title I just had to immediately check it out. Very sorry for your loss
