On Thursday November 20th, we lost a dear friend, Trevor Pierson. Trevor was a dedicated Phillies Fan and loved the sport of Baseball. He was a kind and gentle person, who always treated people with warmth and kindness. All of us at The Irish Times are better people for having such a great guy we called our friend. We’ll miss him! If you have a comment or a story you would like to share about Trevor we ask that you please do so…We’re sure Trevor would appreciate your kind words.

Tevor,
It was an honor to have known you. I was a cynic about the Phillies. You made me beleive. You hung on to see them win it. It gave me great joy to see your face when they won it all. I’m glad that you got to see it happen. You were a friend and life is not going to be the same without you! Love you and miss you!

Trevor,
Though we met just a short time ago, we enjoyed having sessions with you during the baseball and soccer games. Also we enjoyed our cheesecake discussions, and laughing with Drew. May God’s light shine upon you, and May you rest in peace till we meet again and say “CHEERS”!

Trevor, it was such a gift to be able to count you among my friends. I always appreciated your — let’s call it “realistic” perspective and world view. We’ll miss you but are better for having known you.

I feel fortunate that I had the pleasure to know Trevor. Meeting someone like him doesn’t happen every day. He was a kind, caring, sweet, good hearted person – always so appreciative even of the simplest things. I will always remember his friendly face and unforgettable smile which made it so comforting just to be around him. His gentle nature touched my heart, He was a truly a beautiful person—and I will always be thankful for the memories!
Miss You,
Janice

I have been wanting to comment on my friend Trevor since that terrible day in November but it has been very hard. I miss him and the bar feels empty without him and sometimes out of the corner of my eye I think I see him standing there hanging up his coat and getting ready to settle down at the bar with a drink waiting for him…. and that drink is still waiting. Miss you Trev!

I was a classmate of Trevor’s from way back in Manoa School, and I just learned of his passing. My most sincere condolences to his family.

I was friends with trevor since high school although i hadn’t seen him since he was employed at the sweater works and at the old kellys in bryn mawr i often wondered how he was.Trevor was the kind of person you always remember in a positive and warm light as he was a very kind soul.I could not possibly express the kind of sadness this news brings so far away.This is a man who is truly loved.
