Message from the Premier
In memory of Dr. David R. Colman
Quebec City, June 3, 2011
Dr. David R. Colman touched the lives of those he held dear and everyone at the Montreal Neuro. The work he accomplished has left an indelible mark on the field of neuroscience.
Today, I wish to add my voice to the countless others from around the world who are paying tribute to this remarkable man. He was a scientist of international repute, a professor whose work was recognized with the highest awards, an invaluable mentor, and a great humanitarian. Dr. Colman was a man of conviction, vision and passion. He inspired all those he came in contact with; he cared deeply about the generation following in his footsteps and constantly encouraged them to push the boundaries of science further, just as he was doing.
On behalf of the Government of Québec and myself, I extend my deepest sympathy to the family, friends and colleagues of Dr. Colman.
