''It’s with great sadness that I write these words for you Steve, my acolyte, my accomplice, my friend. Your talent hit me the first time that I heard you play. Your talent can resume you. It’s also that talent that fed my musical flame for almost a decade.

We both lived great experiences and magical were the moments when we’ve put our sense of creation together. Steve Cloutier and myself will always keep a great memory of you close in our hearts… how great a musician you were.

May your soul rest in peace…
We will miss you.''
