In 1999, several Avalanche players, including Claude Lemieux, plus GM Pierre Lacroix, lived in the Columbine High area and/or attended the nearby Catholic church. Columbine students were in the team's informal babysitter pool. In the wake of the 13 murders and others wounded on April 20, church parishioner Claude Lemieux asked the family of one hospitalized student if there was anything he could do. The family members, Lemieux's fellow parishioners, mused that, well, they hadn't been home much. Lemieux hired a cleaning service and sent it over to the family's home.
I suspect that Lemieux made other gestures, too, in the aftermath of the shootings, but that's the one I know about.
RIP, Pepe.
