Obituary for Sylvain St-Pierre

ST-PIERRE, Sylvain – Sylvain St-Pierre died at home in Laval, Québec on Thursday 25 March 2021, at the age of 64, from Covid-19. Sylvain was pre-deceased by his father, Jacques St-Pierre. The death of his mother, Eva St-Pierre (née Plante), followed Sylvain’s death by three days, on 28 March 2021, also from Covid-19. He leaves to mourn his brother, Marc St-Pierre, as well as many relatives and friends. Sylvain’s wit, perception, insightfulness, patience and artistic skills were well known and appreciated by all who knew him. He was an active member of MonSFFA (Montreal Science Fiction and Fantasy Association), having participated in the club for more than three decades. Sylvain was well known in science-fiction fandom circles locally, provincially, nationally and internationally. His presence will be missed at home and abroad. As per family wishes, and because of Covid restrictions, Sylvain and his mother were cremated without a memorial service. The family asks everyone to think about, and protect, the living. Sylvain’s and his mother’s cremains will be interred in the family plot in Lavaltrie, Québec at a later date. Donations in memory of Sylvain and Eva may be made to a local charity specialising in aiding children and/or women at increased risk of violence or social need as a result of Covid-19, or to a charity of your choice. (Arrangements entrusted to La résidence funéraire Goyer de Saint-Eustache.)

POST 3 OF 6: APRIL 10 “SYLVAIN ST-PIERRE MEMORIAL” MEETING.

Time for a Break!

Raise a glass of white wine to toast his memory.

We have chosen not to have a raffle this week, but there are a couple of announcements.

First, the club’s snail mail address has changed to:

MonSFFA, c/o
125 Léonard
Châteauguay, QC
J6K 1N9

The new treasurer will be Joseph Aspler, with Lil Moir providing backup and help with final year-end report. We still need to sort out how to send e-transfers as our account does not have a banking card. Send cheques to the above address to renew your membership.

Everyone, please be very careful; the variants are fast and deadly.

Sad news: Sylvain St-Pierre

I am so sorry to have to inform you that Sylvain St-Pierre and his mom have both passed away from Covid. His brother, Marc, is in quarantine as a precautionary measure.

We are in shock. Sylvain was one of the rocks on which this club was founded, and a best friend to so many of us in fandom. 
Tributes are being posted on his facebook profile, and we will be looking for your memories of happier days for WARP. Send to <editor@monsffa.ca>
The Virus is not through with us yet, please be ever so careful.
