At his funeral in Berthierville former team-mate Jody Scheckter delivered a simple eulogy: “I will miss Gilles for two reasons, first; he was the fastest driver in the history of motor racing, second; he was the most genuine man I have ever known. But he has not gone, the memory of what he has done, what he achieved, will always be there.”
