It was on his Facebook page that the singer spoke with emotion, bidding him farewell.
“A woman loses her love, a child loses his dad. And I lost a friend, Mario Allard. I see us again here in Guadeloupe last year, where you came to play jazz and enjoy the Caribbean Sea with your little family. My best memories of our last 20 years are when I see you again on stage in all your tenor sax, baritone and transverse flute solos, as only you could do them. Quebec loses a great musician, jazz students lose a master, I lose my favorite saxophonist. Your magical notes will stay in my heart forever… I offer my sincere condolences to Catherine, your little boy and your entire family. Farewell the artist Your friend Robert Charlebois, Laurence, Victor and Jérôme,” Robert shared under a magnificent photo of his late friend.
