Dear Leica friends all around the world,

this is Alice writing, and sorry for possibly having given you a shock as I 
am using Philippe's email address. 
I would like to thank you all for the kind words and the memories you evoked 
concerning my  beloved companion for 20 years. He was a kind and caring 
hisband, and a mighty witty guy, a wonderful father and grandad, and he had 
that extra sparkle in the eye that made everybody marvel at his shots. We 
strolled on many paths for 20 years and his brutal and unexpected departure 
came as a shock to me and to all. No sign whatsoever, just a fatal heart 
attack when he slipped into bed after a nice day. 
I would like to thank you all for having made his days bright and cheerful, 
for having been so welcoming at the way he saw the world, always in grace 
and with heart, and for having been his friend, which he truly believed. He 
often talked about the list and your pieces of art, which he would share 
with me: Alice, come here, see this shot, isn?it amazing? Intriguing? 
Marvelous? 
Thank you for sending us some of his portraits, which we printed so that all 
the people who attended the funeral could admire and go back with some of 
them. 

Thank you for being who you all are: kind, open-minded, respectful and happy 
to share, always with a positive eye.

Amiti?s, as he liked so much to write (and he meant it),
Alice
