Dear Pierre,

May you rest in peace, we all will miss you, our prayers and thought are with your family. You were a loyal customer, good friends and for me, as a fellow Indonesian, you were an idol for other Indonesian to look up to. May all your hard effort in school be known and acknowledge back in our home country of Indonesia. I will send your favorite " spicy wok basil" right up to heaven. We will miss you deeply....From all of us at York St Noodle House, New Haven.

For Pierre Family: " Semoga Tuhan membuka pintu surga bagi Almarhum Pierre. Dia adalah murid yang sangat tekun belajar, selalu sibuk membaca walaupun sedang menikmati mie di warung kami, persis di depan Theater. Kami sangat yakin dia akan mendapatkan tempat yang layak disisinya. Indonesia sangat kehilangan salah satu putra bangsa yang cemerlang.

Pierre worked at the Santa Fe Opers this past summer and I had the pleasure of getting to meet him and see him work. He was always so friendly, nice, had a smile on, and was very helpful. He even won an award for being such a great apprentice. May he rest in peace.

We are bereaved at the loss of a talented and prominent figure in Singapore theatre.

His presence has brought about much admiration and respect to the local arts community.

A real dedicated and professional colleague, he not only showed humility and sincerity to the very craft he calls close to his heart.

He will be missed and always remembered as the "French man" that trawls the back stages of our venue.

Rest in peace, Abang Pierre.

I'll never forget the highschool days spent with you,your history notes,your passion,your willngness to help everyone in the class. Always miss you now that everytime I see my NIV Bible as a sweet 17th bday gift from you.Glad that the shamisen instrument I sent you last year was a hit.

Rest till we meet again.

Last time I meet Pierre was back in 2004 but i've known him my whole life. Pierre was my preschool sweetheart whom I shared my child magazine, "Bobo", with. And he shared his "Donal Bebek" magazine and "Dinosaur" encyclopedia. My heart broke as I heard the news. May your beautiful soul rest in peace, Pierre.

Pierre, I'm really shocked hearing the news. Last time I saw you was in S'pore when we're having dinner together.

You're the best friend I've ever known.

This is a heartbreak for anyone who reads it, but for theatre technicians I believe it is a special loss. We've all put ourselves in that same position of potential harm in support of art's creation. Theatre's magic has lost a bit of its glimmer with the loss of one of its own. My prayers are with Pierre's family and friends.

#38 By (Anonymous) 4:59am on November 24, 2007

My deepest condolences to the Sidharta family. May God give you the strength during these difficult time and my prayers will always be with you.

May God's love bind together this young man's family and keep them strong through this loss.

May his soul rest in peace.

I was shocked when I found out about the news. Still can't believe that this is true. Andre was a very nice, smart & talented young man. He was still young and full of passion in music & theatre.

May you rest in peace, Andre. I believe that you are now sitting next to our Father in Heaven. Condolences to om & tante Sidharta Salim, Michel & Adeline.
