Jacques Monnier – a remembrance
(27 June, 1945 – 22 February, 2007)
It was on my arrival in Dubai that I received the sad news that my friend Jacques was killed in a tragic car accident. Jacques filled his time by running his organic farm and enjoying the good life in the Philippines. Drinking a glass of fine wine while eating a piece of aged cheese, that was one of Jacques favorite activities. But no more. Jacques died on the spot in a deadly car collision near his house in Silang, Cavite. He leaves behind Joy, his partner and JoJo, his son. It’s a great loss but we know Jacques lived his life to the fullest. We send our deepest sympathy to his partner and his son.
