I'm very sorry to hear of his passing. He gave the photography community such a huge contribution with his E-Books (I have 2). Very sincere condolences to his family. I hope they know how much of an impact he had on us here.

My condolences. His K-1 user manual has been very helpful, and enjoyable to read

Sorry to hear about this, Yvon was a real asset to this community; I bought two of his e-books and am impressed by his work. All strength to his family and friends during this sad time.

In truth I never bought or read any of his ebooks, but the passing of any warrior in the cause of Pentax is a sad thing, and one who has contributed so much especially sad. My sincere condolences to his loved ones, may he rest in peace, his good work done.

Condolences to his friends and family, and may he rest in peace.

p.s. : Could someone fix the title of the thread? It's "Bourque", not "Borque".

My deepest sympathy to the Bourque family. I have his books for each of the Pentax camera models I own. RIP, Yvon Bourque. Thank you very much for your contributions to the Pentax community.
