On Sunday January 9, 2011 while visiting Kansas City to see his Chiefs play Richard Charles Pirozzi was called home. He was born in Amityville, NY on April 18, 1957 to the late Mary B. and Salvatore F. Pirozzi. He was preceded in death by his two brothers William and James Pirozzi and by his first wife of 12 years, Pamela Lilja Pirozzi. He resided most of his life in Maryland.
Rick was known as a loving husband and best friend to his current wife of 17 years, Linda Pirozzi. He was also known as a wonderful supportive father to his seven children, Emily Pirozzi, Sal Pirozzi, Ricky Pirozzi, Jennifer Roman, George Thompson, Arin Thompson and Joe Butler, a fun loving PePaw to his 15 grandchildren and a companion and playmate to his four legged furchild Bentley. No person was a stranger to Rick and his larger than life personality and generous, loving spirt made him a special friend to all his family, extended family, friends and community.
Rick’s love of sales led him through a successful career in the business industry. He was a mentor and motivator who inspired many in his field. An inspiration to his family, friends and coworkers, Rick never let the challenges of life get him down and thought determination always rose to the top.
Even though Rick loved his work, family was his first love. Spending time and having fun with his wife, children, grandchildren and extended family was his top priority. He filled holidays, birthdays and weekend get togethers with his contagious, joy filled laugh and love of play.
Farewell Richard Charles Pirozzi, Rick, Dad, Pepaw, Friend. You were greatly loved, you will be greatly missed.
