Reader Comments on John B. Pierce, Jr. from YankeeMagazine.com http://www.yankeemagazine.com/rss/index.php Sat, 07 Nov 2009 22:06:19 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://www.yankeemagazine.com/issues/2008-03/features/johnpierce I've had the great fortune of working with John for the past several months as a new member of the Yankee family. I was fortunate to experience, if only for a short while, his wisdom and amazing spirit. My heart goes out to his family and those here at Yankee who I know will dearly miss him.

Yankee Publishing (rss@ypi.com) Thu, 01 May 2008 21:52:34 +0100 http://www.yankeemagazine.com/issues/2008-03/features/johnpierce We spent every August down the road from the Pierces at the Kefferstans' Skimmilk Farm in Brentwood. Every summer I would wait for Jay to come down the road to visit. I followed him around like a puppy dog and he took me apple picking and for rides on the tractor. He was my first love. I will never forget how kind and tolerant he was of the little girl who wouldn't let him out of her sight. Even when he went off to college, he wrote to the 8 year old who adored him. Only last Fall I emailed him after 40 years and we caught up with our lives. How sad to lose him so early. Love and sympathy to all of the Pierces and their families and friends. From what I knew of him so long ago, he touched you all in a significant way. Yankee Publishing (rss@ypi.com) Sun, 22 Jun 2008 22:27:50 +0100 http://www.yankeemagazine.com/issues/2008-03/features/johnpierce I hardly knew the man and I was a vendor to Yankee Magazine. While I did not keep the business , John and I shared the hobby and traded outside the business world as friends. Here is a man who almost to the day is the same age as my father who spoke to me as an equal. One of the kindest men I have ever met. I was constantly astonished with the respect A good man and from what I heard from Sherin, a great husband and father. I just learned of this today, I am better for having known such a good man and will pray, and encourage you to do the same, for Sherin and the family. I would be upset by this more but for the fact I KNOW he is with God. There is no doubt in my mind about that.
