Pierre is well-known for his love of teaching and dedication to his students as a coach, mentor, teacher, and father figure to many. His unique teaching style and zest for life made learning an enjoyable and memorable experience. There isn't a home in the town of Littleton that wasn't touched by him in some way.
Pierre enjoyed dedicating his time to the community and organizations promoting the growth and education of the young people in Littleton. He was the Littleton Park Commissioner for 2 years and created the Parks and Recreation program back in 1981.

He is also well-known for his 31 years of broadcasting Littleton sports for WLTN. Pierre is a two-time recipient of the Golden Mic Award from the NH Association of Broadcasters. He received the John Clark Award for officiating and the James Desmarais Service Award.
Friends were always encouraged to drop in and visit, everyone always felt welcome in his presence. He will be remembered for his witty jokes, contagious laugh, the love for his family and grandchildren, and of course his garden and tomatoes.
He is survived by his loving wife Denise Lafitte, his two daughters, Danielle Cook and Janine Gilboy, and his son Jon Pierre Lafitte as well as his seven grandchildren; Emma, Gavin, Nicolas, Camden, Keira, Reece and Jackson. He is also survived by his brother, Michel Couret of Merrimack NH.
