Peter R. Poirier, Jr.

Pete was a good guy one of the big three coaches at Memorial always considered a good friend. Always had good advice on how Manchester operated politically. Gave a lot of his time to the city of Manchester.

When I first came up to Manchester in 1971 teaching at Memorial we went down to the Alibi Restaurant after a Friday Basketball game. I couldn't believe the group of coaches, officials etc having a few drinks(Pete probably bought the rounds) having yelled and screamed at each other during the games. Still friends I think?

Great times Pete was a great guy.

PETER: TIME HAS SURELY FLOWN BY SINCE YOU PASSED AWAY, BUT THAT HASN'T CHANGED MY MIND ABOUT YOUR WORK ON BEHALF OF YOUNG MEN IN OUR COMMUNITY WITH ALL THAT YOU DID WITH THE MANCHESTER BABE RUTH LEAGUES, YOU ARE STILL THOUGHT OF.

great man did a lot for the youth and was a great coach at memorial .City has lost a great Icon and will be missed.

Rest in peace my friend and we shall keep you in our prayers for you and the family as this day unfolds.

I am so sorry to hear about Pete. Though we haven't kept in touch I always considered him family he's been there for as long as I can remember I enjoyed the many Christmas eves we all got together at his house Micky, The Taylors he and Priscilla were gracious hosts He was a great man and will always be in my heart and missed by all that knew him

Pete truly was the Dean of NH Basketball coaches.

The last of the big three @ Memorial HS Bob Chabot, Hubie McDonough now Pistol Pete Poirier. Pete not only a good coach, good friend and most of all a nice man.
