Funniest Charles story ever...while at the Drug Resistance Workshop in Seville, Charles decided to have his defining curls tamed by a "Barber of Seville".

The last time I met Charles, it was in Mexico, and he was laughing and joking as often. This will remain a very nice last picture to remember him alive. He was a nice and open-minded human being. He has been always inspiring for the youngest scientists and dedicated to HIV research for a long-time. This is his legacy and we will miss him a lot. Sincere condelences to his family.

I have met Dr. Charles Boucher at Hong Kong (two times) and Japan (two times) and found him very jubilant personality and cordial behaviour to every one. He was fully devoted to cause of innovative research towards eradication of infectious diseases especially HIV. I have seen him encouraging young scientists during their presentations in the conference. His contribution and dedication for improving quality of human health globally would always be cherished in times to come.

I'm coming to this news belatedly and am deeply saddened. It was a privilege to call Charles a friend as well as a colleague. Reading through the comments has taken me back to the wonderful years working alongside him in HIV, and later HCV drug resistance and pharmacology. We could always count on Charles to ask the most probing questions, in ways that educated and supported his colleagues, never diminishing them. He is greatly missed.

I never knew you until I began attending Virology Education programmes online since last year especially in the wake of the Covid - 19 pandemic. Your legacy in the field of virology will always remain with us. I am just sorry I never got a chance to meet you in person. May GOD comfort your family.

Tôi mong tin này không phải là sự thật. Tôi nghĩ Ông vẫn luôn cùng chúng ta trong các phiên hội thảo , Hội nghị về HIV.
Ông ra đi là một tổn thất lớn cho nền khoa học về vi rus học, chúng ta mất đi một người thầy lớn, mất đi một đồng nghiệp lớn trong việc đẩy lùi đại dịch HIV trên thế giới này.
Trong nỗi đau thương tiếc này, nhớ về Ông chúng ta cầnchung tay nỗ lực hơn nữa để nhân loại không phải chịu mất mát do đại dịch HIV.
Xin nghiêng mình thương nhớ về Ông Gs. Tiến sỹ Charles Boucher
Ông luôn sống mãi trong trái tim của chúng tôi.

What a sad news. Charles and myself were fellow students at the University of Amsterdam late seventies/ early eighties. Play hard , work hard or the other way around. A joyful, fun loving, creative spirit with a wide range of interests. For a short while we played together in an indoor football team, not Charles greatest talent. We lost contact, Charles radiated to science and myself to international ( public) health. Much later we met again in Africa and Asia, while he branched out to to international health in the area of HIV. Having a beer, we quickly had the same eclectic range of discussions switching from international health, politics literature, music and football- life. A grounded person. A good man.
I wish his family and loved ones all the strength to cope with this terrible loss.

My deepest condoleances to Charles' family, colleagues and friends.
Charles was a great mentor to me and guided me through my first years of university. His advise and way of thinking has helped me in carving my path as a future doctor and researcher. Having Charles as a professor was a true privilege. Charles, you will be missed!

The next Virology Education meeting I attend will be very difficult to reconcile with the absence of Charles, he was the embodiment of many of my favorite meetings, because they facilitated awareness and insights into diverse clinical and scientific aspects of virology that are often ignored by the larger conferences. He was a beacon of inspiration to both young researchers and seasoned clinicians, and beyond the drive to create the platform to share expertise, he was also a truly wonderful man who will be sorely missed.

So many wonderful messages are a testament to Charles, a great researcher, teacher, family man and super company. I felt he deeply understood how "it takes a village" to make substantial progress and he galvanised many in that regard, so his legacy will not only be the many important things he achieved but also the achievements of those who were inspired by him. He will be sorely missed and my condolences to his family.

Charles,

I will miss you so much. You enriched every scientific meeting you hosted or attended with important insights. You frequently took the first step in stimulating important discussions that would not had taken place without your willingness to speak up and include others in the discussion.

I was introduced to Charles by my mentor Joep van Oosterhout at the INTEREST conference in Lilongwe, Malawi in 2017. After that he told me that he was very eager to see my poster presentation. When he came at the poster presentation, he gave me valuable insight that helped in polishing the abstract that was later presented at IAS in that year. A great mentor and researcher indeed. MAy His Soul Rest In Eternal Peace.

Our sincere condolences to Dr.Charles' family, and to the whole Virology Education community. I personally met with Dr.Charles in an International Conference on HIV in Kigali /Rwanda, and I have learned a lot from him on HIV management. He was a bright, kind and very compassionate person. I keep very good memories of his interventions. May his soul rest in peace.

Please accept my sincere condolences to Charles Boucher, his wife, and his children. I remember Charles from the "AZT era" He taught me about resistance against antiretroviral drugs for the first time. This has made a big impact on me as a marketeer.
He was devoted to education and with his great support, we started the first HIV Masterclass in the Netherlands for young medical doctors. Pure science and no Pharma tricks.
Sad to say that we had to say goodbye to this wonderful, friendly, and creative man!
We will miss you, Charles!
May God bless you!

My sincere condolences to Dr Boucher's friends and family on behalf of the whole YLabs team. We have lost a giant in the field of HIV who made such a difference for the lives of those impacted, and all those who seek to do the same. We met at the HIV in Adolescent Workshop and his care and attention to children and young people living with HIV was a remarkable inspiration to us all. Thank you Dr Boucher.

Dr Rebecca Hope, YLabs

Charles made important, relatively recent contributions in addition, to education in viral hepatitis. These contributions were greatly valued in endemic and non endemic regions. His legacy remains. It is nonetheless sad to know that his gifts, enthusiasm, sincerity and commitment have been prematurely lost. He was a force of nature and would have had much to offer to a burgeoning field. My condelences to his family, close colleagues and to the virology education team.

My condolences to Charles' family, friends and colleagues. I enjoyed our chats in the office, not only about science but also about social-cultural topics. I was fortunate to discuss my PhD thesis with him during my defense. Unfortunately I will never got to know and be able to discuss his remaining questions as opponent. Rest in peace Charles and may your ideas remain strong and alive.
