I really enjoyed going to BJs with your coffee group in Hamilton the summers I was in MT to visit with my mom.

I just heard of Pierre’s passing today. I had the honor and delight of meeting and getting to know Pierre when I worked at Big Sky. I will never forget his jokes, his smile, and his kind heart. No matter how tough things got, Pierre always stayed positive and kind.
My thoughts are with the family, and many many people who called Pierre a friend. May God bless you with this kindness and love.
