My wife and I just learned a few days ago of the passing of Gary Robichaud, the former Leader of the NDP in PEI, nearly a month ago...

While I only met the man once, at his daughter's first birthday party, where he was entertaining the children with songs and games on a beautiful, sunny July day...I reckoned him then to be a good father and a good man...it was only later that I learned that he was a politician...

I'm filled with profound sadness for his wife and daughter and know that we have lost someone truly exceptional to whom we all might aspire...

a lot of the Island was sad to see him go, he was a dedicated husband, father and teacher...rare qualities in men, let alon politicians these days
