Born in Montreal, on November 12, 1876 — died in Montreal, on January 31, 1947

Montrealer, friend an admirer of Alfred Montmarquette (which makes him an instant friend of mine), he was taught accordeon by his mother, started out as an acrobat in "tombolas" and had a brilliant musical carreer that allowed him to perform in the main Montreal venues of the time.
