During his career, this theatre personality deeply touched those who worked with him: Gilles Pelletier, for one, spoke about the humility and joviality of the man he considers the pillar of the Nouvelle Compagnie th\u00e9\u00e2trale; as for Fran\u00e7oise Faucher, she remembers him as an exceptional artist who was able to make fun of his own fears.</p>\n<p>Georges Groulx worked with a number of seasoned actors in the Compagnons de Saint-Laurent company and helped train several Quebec actors at the Th\u00e9\u00e2tre du Nouveau-Monde and the Conservatoire d'art dramatique. He was also a stage director at the Rideau Vert and a Radio-Canada producer.</p>\n<p>The Bloc Quebecois joins the artistic community in mourning this great theatre personality, whose generosity was only matched by his talent.</p>",
