I do not write much about work because I quite like my work and it is usually not that good an idea to write about your work. But I would be missing a great sadness not to note the very surprising passing of the CAO of Kingston, my boss's boss's boss, Bert Meunier, whose obituary in the Whig-Standard this morning captures many of the qualities I got to know in working with him. Here is the Whig's take on his career, much of which is a noting of events before my time. If I was to add anything it would be that, as set out in the articles, the principles that he clearly fought for have been adopted and are being brought into day to day action.

Oh to have life that was remembered like this. Alan, this has been quite fortnight. This is surely the best that we can do - to live such a life that we live on in the memory of others and that our works and our energy reverberate after we are gone

The revealing of his record has been quite astonishing. CBC Ottawa was remembering Bert in their radio newscasts for the part he played as CAO of Kanata at the time the Corel Centre and the Ottawa Senators came to that former home of his. He was quite a guy and very tragic that he passed away so young.
