It all started when he arrived in America from Corsica, France in 1950. Speaking fluent French at the age of seven he started grammar school with no English language skills. Quickly learning English, he proceeded to graduate from Kenosha HS and continued to attend his high school annual reunions.</p><p><br></p><p>Pierre went on to pursue a successful career as an independent Snap-On-Tool dealer. Working with Snap-On and driving his daily route he made many new business contacts, met new customers, and maintained many of those friendships his entire life.</p><p><br></p><p>Many years later he traded in his Snap-On tool truck (the largest one on the road at the time) for a new two-wheeled vehicle with an engine, also known as Harley motorcycle.</p><p><br></p><p>And then, his ride began.</p><p><br></p><p>Working at The House of Harley (The House), Pierre met a new group of friends. The House became his new home. He was surrounded by great colleagues, motorcycle enthusiasts, and Harley owners.</p><p><br></p><p>Pierre was a proud and respected club member of Hell’s Lovers. Participating in many rides that took him all over the country was his greatest joy.</p><p><br></p><p>His final ride was taken too soon,</p><p>but his spirit will forever ride with us.</p><p><br></p><p>Visitation will take place on Thursday, August 14, at CHURCH AND CHAPEL FUNERAL HOME, 15250 W.
