I send my deepest and sincere condolences on the passing of Jean Robillard. I got to know Jean while working with him on the Jeffrey Mine mandate and must say he was a very intelligent and hard working professional. He will be sadly missed by many friends and clients.
With deepest sympathy

I had the privilege of working with Jean during my tenure as a member of Grant Thornton’s Board of Governors. I was always impressed by his tremendous warmth and humanity as well as his professional and business expertise.
