I just saw on Twitter that Julian St Pierre has passed away. (Founder of In Focus)
Does anyone have any info on when he passed or why?
He will be deeply missed.

Apparently he passed in his sleep Last night.

I am stunned and shocked by this very sad news. While I never met Julian, I did talk to him on the phone a couple of times and he seemed like such a true gentleman. My condolences to Terry and Joe. Julian will be missed.

He was a good man. Go out of his way to help you and always made you feel like you had known him for years. Very passionate about his work. My heart goes out to Terry, Joe and family.

I saw this on facebook. I live about an hour away and never met him personally, but I've enjoyed his work and have heard nothing but great things about him. A Louisiana Hero has been lost.

He is definitely going to be missed .. such an unexpected loss for his family and for our industry.

Our Condolences to the family of Julian.

My friend Julian.

My wife and I are very sad to hear the news of Julian's passing. He was a great friend and mentor to me. One of the brightest and most passionate small businessmen I've ever met.
