Monsieur Desbiolles was a teacher when I attended Collège Louis Riel in the 90s. I remember him as very well dressed, he always seemed to be smiling, which as a surly teenager I didn't understand how anyone could do that. I only recently found out about his passing and I'm so sorry to hear that he's gone. Mes condoléances à sa famille. - Posted by: Daniel Bohemier (Student) on: Apr 03, 2023

Dear Kathy and Ivy, I had the privilege of having Francis teach me French. He combined his excellent teaching ability with patience. Francis could talk knowledgeably and intelligently on a wide range of subjects. We discussed everything from fusion to macro-economics to politics. And there was always his laughter and that ever present smile. He was truely a lovable person. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and we wish you strength.... Love, Roy and Johanna Grant - Posted by: Roy Grant (Family) on: Jan 31, 2006

Mr.Desbiolles était un ange pour moi. Sans lui, je ne pense pas que j'aurais aussi bien réussi le secondaire et je ne serais pas si loin au post-seconmdaire. M.Desbiolles m'a donné le courage suivre mes rêves. J'espère bien qu'Ivy, précieuse comme son papa, le saurait toujours comment réellement magnifique sont père était. Il va beaucoup me manquer. Ce n'est pas souvent que dans t'a vie tu rencontres un ange, mais j'ai été chanceuse. Je t'aime gros Francis et merci à j'amais pour tout ce que tu as fait pour moi. - Posted by: Manon Pelletier (Friend) on: Jan 26, 2006
