PLAYHARD Posted February 20, 2020 Report Share Posted February 20, 2020 Thank you JG! #1) For taking excellent care of your health! There's nothing without that. #2) For taking excellent care of your beneficiaries, those who've had the pleasure of your personal company (with or without bacon pizza), and the many many more who've had the pleasure of your artistry (either thru the camera lens or via riding thru)! nyskidooerinnewhampshire and groomer 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GT Rider Posted February 20, 2020 Report Share Posted February 20, 2020 JG, We are sorry to see that your sports car went Kaput. Last year you came to our rescue in it. Its not your bad luck its ours. I think we almost lost you at the end of the last machine. It was giving you a lot of trouble. When you have to make long runs like yours a high quality machine should be a priority. I hope they recognize that now! We want to thank you for all the years of hard work making the white carpet we enjoyed. The club will surely miss having a man with your great skill. Thanks for being a great ambassador!

quebec bob Posted February 20, 2020 Report Share Posted February 20, 2020 Jean Guy...I have been enjoying Quebec snowmobiling since 1988, when the trail system was only starting to become what it is today. Over the years there were a small handful of guys around Quebec who had a vision of what the sport could be, Bob Boulton at Motel Lefloruron in St. Donat, Mike a Le Mallard at the entry to Mount Tremblant, Dennis at Le Cabanon, Bernard at Motel Safari. All these guys, and many more mom and pops out in the bush put there heart and soul into this sport, got up early mornings and worked late into the night for all us riders. They did all the hard work for us and provided it with a warm, caring attitude and almost always went above and beyond, many have come in the years to follow and still do today.We all remember the ones who really stood out and shined above and beyond all the time, making our trips most memorable. I hope you know that we all know you are one of those bright stars, grooming to a perfection, some of the best kept trails anywhere..then there is your real skill...posting here , from your heart, with the finest pictures of what Quebec is and has to offer. You are a very big part of this game for all of us..on the trail and here on Quebec Rider. You are leaving behind a job that will never be done with the care and enthusiasm that you brought every day, very big shoes to fill.Nothing lasts forever..go chase your dreams, Best wishes and Many Thanks, Bob. groomer, neksledr, nyskidooerinnewhampshire and 3 others 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
