Jacques and Nicole Rossignol
from Nicole Rossignol
Dear friends
It is with sadness that I must announce the death of Jacques Rossignol. He died peacefully on April 4 holding on to one of his firearms (only a real shooter would do this). You are all invited to come and offer condolences on April 13, at Les Jardins de Souvenirs, 75 Fournier Blvd in Gatineau between the hours of 3:00 pm and 6:00 pm. A short service will be held at 5:00 pm.
You can learn more about Jacques Rossignol in the Shooter Spotlight we did on him and Nicole on February 2, 2010 here.

This is truly sad news. I have many fond memories of shooting with Jacques, especially at Rotterdam. He was always a joy to talk to and I always hoped he, and Nicole, would be at whatever match I was heading to. He will be in my thoughts the next time I put a round down range.
This is truly a loss in our sport and friendship. Shooting with Jacques in NY for years and talking to him and Nicole have been great. I will continue to think of him and family. Rest In Peace Jacques…
