Dr. Maurice Dongier died peacefully in Montreal on September 19, 2015. He is survived by his wife Suzanne, his four children, Pierre, François, Isabelle, Philippe and their families, his brother Michel, his sister-in-law Geneviève and their families. He will also be missed by many colleagues and friends. Emeritus Professor at McGill University, he was Director of the Allan Memorial Institute, Chairman of the Department of Psychiatry, and he developed the Alcohol Research Program at the Douglas Institute where he also served as Director of Clinical Research. He worked previously at the University of Liège in Belgium and at the Faculty of Medicine of Aix- Marseille University in France. His private and family life was full of humour and poetry. His curiosity led him to explore many paths, and more recently meditation.
