A Celebration of the Life of
Francis Bourqui June 23, 2004 Under a tent on the property that Francis loved so much, his family, friends and business associates have gathered to remember their husband, father, friend and colleague, and to celebrate the successful life that he lived. Our memories of him are vivid and will live on forever. In an attempt to portray Francis the way many of us saw him, here are selected but representative statements from more than 100 expressions of condolence that have been received from people in 18 countries: “Nos vimos, nos conversamos, y nos reímos juntos.” Roly Solis, Chile “He looked at me with a twinkle in his eyes and started singing one of his old European French songs. It made me feel good, made me laugh, and made me always see things with a “don't worry, be happy” perspective.” Alain Thivierge, Canada “Il a su partager le meilleur de lui et je l'en remercie.” Gaston Gausachs, Chile
“He talked lovingly about his family, his passion of wines and the cultures of the many countries that he visited as well as his unique knowledge of the mining markets around the world.” Steve Miko, Canada “One of the most enthusiastic promoters of Canadian goods and services in Peru where he was able, through his extraordinary spirit, to develop strong and lasting friendship ties with many people.” Marisol Palacios and Carlos Soldi, Perú “He had a unique and characteristic way of connecting with you, in a simple and direct manner, so conducive to openness and friendship.” Paul-André Rochon, U.S.A. “Never have I met anyone with the professional way in which he conducted himself, but exhibiting a great sense of humour at the same time.” Jim Cullinane, Canada “Il laisse dans ce pays une foule d'amis tant il était conviviale et familier avec les gens.” Rachid Benhacine, Algeria
Francis Bourqui Bursary Fund Shortly after Francis’ death, several of his business associates suggested that a bursary fund be established to assist with the university education of Francis Christopher and Jean-François, Francis’ children still in university. A committee appointed by the CAMESE Board of Directors will administer the fund with a goal of assisting with the costs of university in the same way that Francis would have done, until they have finished their university education. As of the Celebration of the Life of Francis Bourqui on June 23, 2004 the following persons and corporations have generously donated.
