Over the All Saints\u2019 Day weekend, it was with great sadness that I learnt of the death of Marcel Durand.
He joined the club in 1991 as member number 3343.
As I lived next door to him, I got to know him in the late 1980s at tarot competitions.
A keen cycle tourist, he joined the FFCT in 1980. In 1992, he founded the Amicale Cyclo des Hautes-Vosges and opened the first cycle shop in the Vosges department.
For many years, he was a member of the Vosges Departmental Cycle Tourism Committee, where he was in charge of the youth committee.
I got my first FFCT licence as soon as his club was set up. He introduced me to France by taking part in various cycle tours, particularly the BCMF one-day rides.
During my first few years of my undergraduate degree, he introduced me to the Club des Cent Cols.
Together with his wife Marcelle, he took part in numerous club trips, including those marking the club\u2019s half-century.
During the 2019 summer camp in Saint-Di\u00e9-des-Vosges, he helped me find partners. Each participant was given a personalised box of sweets.
Those who completed the V6 route will remember the refreshment stop at the Haut-Jacques col, run by his wife and granddaughter.
He leaves a huge void.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have learnt of the death of Marcel Durand, who was born on 10 May 1948 in Saint-L\u00e9onard. He had a sister and a brother.
After successfully completing his Scolarit\u00e9 and obtaining his school leaving certificate, he went on to gain a CAP in automotive mechanics at the vocational college in G\u00e9rardmer. He then completed 16 months of military service in the engineering corps in Vieux-Brisach.
In 1969, he married Marcelle Baret. They had three children: Christophe, Sandrine and St\u00e9phane. The family later grew to include three grandchildren and one great-grandson. In 1972, the family moved to Bruy\u00e8res, and then to Fays, after their house had been built. Marcel Durand had enjoyed a successful career as a regional lorry driver, and later as a bus driver.
A keen cycle tourist since 1980, he founded the Fays Cycle Touring Club and the ecole. His cycle tour of France, completed in 21 stages in 2012, remains a fond memory.
He was also a member of the Bruy\u00e8res P\u00e9tanque Club and enjoyed playing belote and tarot. He was also a volunteer driver for Solidarit\u00e9 Transports.
Our condolences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
