So sorry to hear of Mr. Piercey’s passing.. Strangely when we met just a few days before Christmas and we discussed your dad, would we have known the end was so near. A difficult time for him has passed and I’m sure he is peacefully at rest. I fondly remember your dad as a hard working and exceedingly nice man who loved his time by a pond or hunting in the fall. Take comfort in having a father who lived a full life and did so much for his family..
Best regards,
Steve Hillyard
