Tributes

My deepest heartfelt condolences to the family and those fortunate enough to have had the opportunity to have met him. Lucky were those who experienced his devotion and love to his family and his country. For over 3 decades I have seen the family grow through my camera lens and what always stood out was his ability to read everything important in the room. Just a glance away most importantly, was Nan-B. She was ink to his quill, and he, paper to her ink. A love letter and bond like no other.

Elegant Curious Devoted Nan-b, You are in in our thoughts and prayers.

Philippe II exemplified passion, purpose, elegance and integrity. An astonishing intellect and visionary, he valued people from every walk of life and was generous in all the ways that matter. Expo 67 brought the world to Montreal and showcased Canada to the world. It was a magical time and so poignant as we come together with Canadian pride. An era is over with his passing. My heartfelt condolences to the de Gaspé Beaubien family - his greatest love.

My deepest condolences to Nan-b, Philippe and François and the entire family in your sadness and grief. May you always cherish your memories and reflections of the many exciting and impressive chapters in his life and your good times together. I have fond memories of working with him and Nan-B in Davos in supporting the great work of the Institute for Family Enterprise. May he rest in peace and may his memory always be a blessing.

Our warmest condolences to you Nan-b and to your family for this big loss. I identify with Philippe living a spiritual life, and his passion for his family. Joseph and Natalie
