LAPIERRE, Germain 1922 - 2012 On January 9, 2012, died Germain Lapierre, husband of Laure Gamache.

A pioneer of French-language books in Canada, a personal friend of many authors and publishers on both sides of the Atlantic, Germain worked during his long career at all levels of book publishing and distribution. His wife would like to thank the medical staff in the nephrology (dialysis) department for their dedication and professionalism. Instead of flowers, donations to the Cité de la Santé Foundation would be appreciated. According to his wishes, he will not be exposed.
