There are no small matters; there are only small journalists. » This sentence, all those who met Philippe Pierre at the Walloon Brabant regional office of the Evening heard it. Because for Philippe, when you work locally, community life or sporting life is as important as political or economic life. Our former office manager died this Wednesday, at the age of 77.
Entered Evening In 1977, Philippe Pierre quickly took control of the Walloon Brabant pages of the newspaper. In 1990, he became head of the regional office in Wavre. He remained there until 2009, when he took early retirement. “To make a good article, never forget the three “cons”,” he had fun repeating to his team. “Complete, concrete, concise. »
Philippe was a “bible” of BW. He knew every nook and cranny, every secret. From the “Bon Dieu qui croque” farm in Ittre to the Opprebais mill, via Walibi or the Lion of Waterloo. He was also very active in the local life of his town of Wavre where he had lived for more than half a century: among other things, he contributed to theInfo Wavrethe free all-rounder, participated several times in the Jean and Alice Game, played hundreds of matches at the Tennis club La Raquette, encouraged the Racing Jet de Wavre… Philippe Pierre also invested a lot in the school of circus of Grez-Doiceau and in the Tour Saint-Barthélémy de Bousval (commune where he was born in 1946).
The man was appreciated by everyone. For his big heart, his humanity, his simplicity, his joviality, his listening, his epicureanism. His great humor too. His “Peto Verbum” and spoonerisms had become “must-haves” at the parties he attended. “And the Wawas, and the Wawas, and the Wawas are all there!” », he finished each time… standing on a chair!
The editorial staff of the newspaper The evening extends its most sincere condolences to his wife, his children and all his loved ones.
