An event that saw the light of day in 2010 and he was one of the instigators. Some of you knew him on the forums of discussion under the pseudonym "JPG". 17 ".
His family, the members of the’SODA Association which he was president, and the discus world have lost a great man.
The funeral took place today in Saintes.
Those who wish can leave here a few words in tribute to Jean Paul Gourdet.
All my condolences to his family and his entourage.

It is with sadness that I went yesterday with Jean paul…
We, members of SODA him do much, to perpetrate his memory we have created the best discus french amateur price which will be called the price 'Jean Paul Gourdet' to the next show of ARVERT Discus.
For my part, I above all lost one of my best buddies. As he had hoped, His discus returned with me at home and every time that I look at them the image of Jean Paul is encrusted in the bins…

Since 25 years we share the same passion, together we organized our first expos to salamander, then after the competition in France and Germany we had the desire to create with our friends in Aqua 17 the FDS of Arvert. So was born this competition taking over the years more and more scale, We owe it to you and in good sailors we will keep the bar! We have set the price of the best breeder Amateur that you dreamed to win, It is yours now, Since it will be your name. Hi captain !

You were the ray of sunshine in your region, you were the president of SODA you are beating you to the end, I thought see you in Paris. You'll stay, a major player in the organization that animated you.
I will keep a good memory of you. You had to come in the Amazon, but fate has decided otherwise. Hi Jean Paul, We will have a thought for you in the next Championship.

"" You were probably my competitor more "tough" for the price of the best breeder French , without animosity and with a righteousness and a franc spoke that you characterized …
I will remember all my life this famous evening at Franck and the challenges of Wayne ng with fruit salad….
You have made the first step towards me in Ablon/Seine to meet me in 1997 in a parking lot, I would say the last words to you…
It would be expensive to win your challenge "Amateur". ; I know it will be very difficult to winning; but thanks to you not impossible….
