[Apple-Crop] Pierre Philion past away...

[Vincent Philion]

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. This time won’t be any different. We will spend the harvest time with him close to our hearts, before a last goodbye. 

Funerals will be held after the apple season at the catholic church of his hometown of Hemmingford, Québec on Saturday, October 14. The family will be present at 9h30, ahead of the ceremony at 11h00.
