Edouard Burnier was born in 1906.
During the night of May 25 to 26 1990, Edouard Burnier, passed away; he peacefully fell asleep at the Château de la Rive clinic in Lutry. He was in poor health and had to decide several years ago to leave his apartment to be treated in an appropriate institution.
Those who had the privilege of meeting Edouard Burnier, former chair of apologetics at the University of Lausanne's Faculty of Theology, were impressed by his lively and flexible mind, but above all by his willingness to work hard to find a cure for his illness. His interest was immediately focused on the personality and concerns of his interlocutor; one felt taken seriously with one's best interests. These qualities of encouraging and inspiring attention he maintained until the end.
