It is with deep regret that CIRCOM has to report the passing of Gerard Le Couedic. 

Gerard was a member of the group that established CIRCOM training in Iasi in 1994. He was a Picture Editor with France Televisions and became their lead trainer in the area. CIRCOM were fortunate that Gerard joined us in 1994 and continued to work with CIRCOM until his retirement in 2006, when he was presented with a special Prix CIRCOM for his services to training.

His colleagues will always remember him as a cool, calm and generous man, whose smile lit up any occasion. His professional skills were evident when working with young journalists, being able to guide them into developing their stories from not just a report but into a visual narrative.

Gerard will be greatly missed by his colleagues and all those within the CIRCOM family who had the pleasure of knowing and working with him. He is survived by his wife Michelle.

RIP
