First Love

Pierce met his first love Cassandra Harris in 1977. What started off as a casual dating, turned into a committed marriage in 1980. Pierce had never thought he would marry her as he never tried to woo her and just wanted to enjoy her beauty. He had no idea that his not so serious relationship would soon become a 17-year-long commitment. After the wedding, Pierce adopted the two children Charlotte and Christopher of his wife from her last relationship. The adoption happened in 1986 when their biological father died. Apart from those two, they had their own son called Sean. But their happy marriage did not have a happy ending. Unfortunately, in 1987, his wife got diagnosed with ovarian cancer that took her life at the age of 43. Though she passed away Pierce kept caring for her children.
