Pierre is frequently in my thoughts, but especially so as I watched his beloved LSU Tigers win the National Championship earlier this year. I miss his warmth and wit.

Pierre was my classmate at Tulane in the Health Services Administration. He took me and other classmates to Donaldsonville where we met his parents and toured the store and the area. Pieree and I were in touch on and off over the years. He was a fine man. We had many good times together.
