More as a friend. God, please welcome Christian into your home
Christian Millet passed away peacefully in his home on September 17th after a difficult battle with brain cancer. He was born on the same day, September 17 1958, in Sélestat, France.
Christian was a loving father, a caring husband, and a generous and loyal friend. He grew up and completed his studies in Paris, France, before moving to the United States where he led the successful expansion of Logfret Inc., a Worldwide Logistics Company founded by his father in the early 1970s. Beyond his many business accomplishments, he dedicated his life to furthering Franco-American relationships through his involvement with the French Army Reserve and civil organizations such as “The French Will Never Forget”. For his many distinguished accomplishments, Christian received numerous military and civil awards. He was awarded the medal of l’Ordre du Mérite National and decorated Chevalier of the French Legion Of Honor.
Christian Millet is survived by his parents, Anne-Marie and Jean-Francois Millet; his wife, Andrea; brother, Marc; sons Sebastien and Alexandre; daughter-in-law, Guada; grandchildren Noah and Zoë.
The family would like to thank Dr. Goldlust and his staff at the John Theurer Center of Hackensack, New Jersey, as well as Samuel Nimako from Atlantic Home Care for their efforts and dedication.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to support cancer research through Memorial Sloan Kettering here: http://mskcc.convio.net/site/TR/FredsTeamEvents/FredsTeam?px=3543673&pg=personal&fr_id=2721. His son Alexandre will be running the NY Marathon on Sunday November 6th to support the cause.
Christian was a one of a kind individual and truly loved by all.

I was so sad to hear this news on Saturday. I have many fond memories of Christian who was a great man and business colleague.
I send you all my condolences. Rest in peace Christian.
Christian was an amazing person and i "will never forget" his smile and good humor. We are missing him already and we know he has been welcomed in his new home. Rest in peace, mon ami.
J'adresse mes sincères condoléances à sa famille.
Puisse t'il reposer en paix, nos prières vous accompagnent.
Andrea and the Millet family : I have no words… I hope you can find the strength to cope with this unfair loss.
Christian : I will NEVER FORGET your beautiful light, your generosity, your friendly smile... and our Goldman recitals that were annoying everybody, but us!
Rest in Peace, Laetitia

May Christian now rest in peace, we will pray for you. Uncle Jo
You have been in my life for the past 20years not just as my best friend's dad but as a mentor who has invested so much into my life I will miss ringing the door bell to your home and being greeted with a huge smile and fatherly hug. I love you from the bottom of my heart and I was blessed to have a cheerful last enjoyable memory of watching the France vs Portgual Game with you Alex and my Wife. I will see you in the next life!
Unfortunately I heard the sad news this morning. Christian was so much more to me than just a boss
He was a friend. It is extremely sad to say goodbye to him under these circumstances.
He is in a better place and will be our our guardian angel
He will be in my prayers for the remainder of my life
Rest in peace Christian...
Pls let me know if there is anything I can do to help during this very difficult time
My entire family sends their condolences

This picture epitomizes Christian to me. Those are rolls of fabric that were shipped to his office by mistake (not his!). He really should have been mad but it just wasn't in his nature. When I told him no way those goods would be in NJ this is the email I got minutes later. Such a kind, caring man who was a great help to me professionally and who I was proud to call a friend.

So much great memories of that event!
Forever Missed
Christian I'm not much on words but you've been there for me thru the death of my mom, the death of my 22yr old step son, thru my dad death and thru my father in law death. What can I say, you've always encouraged me during those sad moments if my life. Let's not forget the biggest moment when I was diagnosed with breast cancer again fie the second time. We've always been family and I will continue to be with Logfret family. Till we meet again. Tell all my love ones in heaven I love them dearly. MUAH Ciao
