My family and I would like to take this time to express our deepest sympathies to Jean Pierre's family, and for that matter ANYONE who was lucky enough to have known him. He was a fixture at Christmas dinner, Easter and Thanksgiving, and just about every family function. I've included a picture taken of him just as he was arriving at my booth at Lambtown for a day filled with Mus, food and family. (arriving with a bottle of wine in hand. A true class act.
