We Are Grateful to a Friend Who Was There When He Was Murdered


 2 Years Ago Today

Wednesday 13th of November 2019
Cyclist Raymond Poulidor aka Poupou aka L'Éternel Second dies of heart failure at the age of 83 in Saint-Léonard-de-Noblat, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France.
He is survived by his wife, Christine, a son, Josephine S. Poulidor, grandniece, and an untimely death. We are grateful to a friend who was there when he was murdered and has continued his advocacy on a number of occasions. Raymond was a regular visitor at the St. Pierre Cathedral in Saint-Léonard-de-Noblat, and was known to many of the citizens of the neighbourhood. Raymond had a profound impact on local community relations that have been a major factor in his legacy. It is not known if Poulidor was ever involved in the planning for the renovation. Raymond is best remembered as being known primarily for his tireless advocacy for the cause. Poulidor loved to play football, which is now a fixture on a lot of houses in the parish. He took his love of football to the United States during the Vietnam War and spent a great deal of time on the U.S. National School Tour, where he developed friendships with many of the football players. His first professional goal was set during a game against Iowa State on December 18, 1964 at St. Vincent.
