Pierre thrived with passion and compassion, humor and style.
Whether we knew who he was or did not know, he was ours and we were his.
Pierre was a kind soul who helped everyone regardless of their position in life. There are numerous tributes to him on facebook, one read: "The world forever looked different after I met you; I'm sure that's how all of us feel. You'll be dearly missed. Rest softly, Sweet Prince"
I lost my son, who was my best friend & confidant. He was there for me always with a smile. I will miss him for the rest of my days. Rest in Peace my beloved son Pierre - Now you belong to the ages & to the angels in heaven. Say not in grief: "He is no more", but live in thankfulness that he was with us all this time. Your ever loving Dad .... Lionel
