Denis Poulin recently informed me of a tragic situation involving Yves Fradette and his wife Marie-France Bissonnette.
We have lost 2 friends.  See pictures below.

Denis Writes ......
La mort récente d’Yves Fradette et de son épouse Marie-France Bissonnette nous a tous pris par surprise. Et quelle malheureuse surprise.
Yves était un passionné de motoneiges antiques et un vrai connaisseur. Il a collectionné et restauré au fil des ans plusieurs Sno jet et
amassé quantité de pièces. Excellent mécano, il était généreux de ses conseils en mécanique et toujours prêt à vous aider.
Toujours prêt à jaser vieilles machines et surtout des bleues, d’où son surnom de BLUEMAN. Il entretenait son amour des
Sno jet et savait si bien nous communiquer sa passion. De toutes les foires et de toutes les expositions, il montait son 
kiosque et nous aidait dans la recherche de nos pièces.....Yves, tu étais un vrai et tu resteras dans nos coeurs à jamais.
Repose en paix vieux frère !

Very recently, Yves Fradette and his wife Marie-France Bissonnette died in a road accident.
Yves was passionate about old sleds and was a real “connaisseur”. He collected and restored many Sno Jets over the years
and gathered a very impressive stock of parts. Fantastic mecano, he would go far to help you with advice and was always
willing to do so. Always ready to chat about old sleds and mainly for those small blue machines from which he took his
nickname of BLUEMAN. His love for the Jets was strong and he knew how to pass it on to us. You would find him at numerous
shows and exhibitions, standing by his display, helping us find the right parts. 
Yves, you were a one of a kind and you will live in our hearts for a long time. Rest in peace brother!

^{Yves, toujours présent à plusieurs expositions avec son chandail bleu de Sno Jet, sa collection de pièces Sno Jet et plus important
encore son sourire et ses manières décontractées.  Tu nous as manqué à notre exposition cet automne mais dans nos cœurs tu
étais avec nous.  Au nom de tous à Expo Sno, merci de nous avoir donné la chance de te connaître. Tu vas nous manquer.
Reposez en paix Yves et Marie-France.}

^{Yves was often present at many different shows with his Blue Sno Jet T-shirt,
his collection of Sno Jet parts and, most importantly, his smile and easy-going manner.}

^{We missed you at our show this fall but in our hearts you were there with us.
On behalf of all of us at Expo Sno thanks for letting us get to know you. 
You will be sadly missed.  RIP Yves and Marie France and sincere sympathy to their sons Keven and Cédric.}
