John Tremblay Dear Claire and Family,
It was with great sadness that I read of Pierre’s passing. While we have had limited contact over recent years, I will always have fond memories of my dear friend.
I have enjoyed working with Pierre for many years. I still appreciate all the professional knowledge and skills that Pierre taught me. He even put up with my poor golf skills.John Tremblay

Renza Brown I was truly sorry to hear of the passing of Pierre. He was a very energetic, optomistic, full of life gentleman. I will always remember how passionate he was about living life to the fullness despite his illness. I was happy to have met and known him although it was brief. Please accept my sincerest condolences.

Like so many other people, I felt a great sense of loss when I heard of Pierre’s passing. He was a mentor, a friend, and an incredible source of guidance and advice. I have learned so much from Pierre, and I will be forever grateful for having known him.
I would like to express my deepest condolences to Pierre’s family, and to Claire who along with Pierre has become a good friend. I have no doubt that such a great man will leave a great void, but this world was made a better place for him being in it.
