Affectionately known as "Gino" by his close friends, Laurent left us suddenly last Tuesday the 8th, while running some errands on his motorcycle. He was on vacation in Normandy with his wife Valerie (pictured) and 6 month old son, Gabin.
Born and raised in Riedseltz, a tiny Alsacian village just West of Germany, Laurent moved to Paris a few years ago to live with Valerie. He was an avid sportsman and loved to fly his ultralight, as well as to paraglide, mountain climb and scuba dive. Endearing and good natured, he seemed to thrive on making those around him happy.
His sudden departure is tempered by the good times we shared and the great memories he left us with. Laurent, my friend, may you rest in peace.
