Hi Vincent
I'm sorry for your loss and hope the warmth of a setting sun in the
orchard on a fine September day brings comfort. I did not know Pierre but
your description leads me to believe he would want that for you too.
Take care,
Glen

Many people in the apple production community knew him:
Pierre Philion, agronomist, died at 77, on Friday, September 1, 2017.
Growing apples was his life. He left us a few days before harvest, like mature
fruit waiting to be picked. In our family, the apple production cycle dictated
our lives.
