how Sad.

Jean was a simply lovely man. I well remember him running around all over the place in 1991, to make sure that his F.I.S.M ran to plan. And i bought a couple of items from his dealer stand, i still use today.

Jean was a great guy. He was my host in Lausanne and treated me to dinner there. My condolences to his friends and family.
Magically,

Very sorry to hear this. I didn't know him well, but he was very welcoming when I first came to Geneva and attended some of the magic club meetings. His little magic shop Le Truc Store was also an interesting place to see, and he still remembered me on my last visit even though I hadn't attended any magic events for a long time.

Very sad. He was one of the first people I met at FISM back in 1991 and a tremendous supporter of magic.
