My thoughts and prayers go out to the Pirog family. I worked with John (we called him Johnny) at Nabisco for many years and used to toot my horn when I drove by his house when he was outside. He would always squint and wave even though he probably didn't know it was me. I was saddened to hear of his passing. I know he is in a better place.

Dear Pirog family,
Deepest sympathies for your loss!
John was a great guy & a longtime friend.
He was a classmate and good buddy of my older brother Leo & when my friends and I (Dan Cronin, Chip Sheridan, Fred Stepanek) caught up in age we all forged a close & great camaraderie:)
We lost my brother Leo just one year ago too!
Warmest regards,
Mike Auger

I met John while working at DeMoulas #13 in the grocery dept in the 70's, worked with him until 1988 when I moved. We always kept in touch with a Christmas card and later emails. He was a great friend and will be missed.

Met John as a teenager working at Demoulas in Nashua. He was a wonderful guy. Ran into him often when he was a merchandiser for Nabisco.
RIP "Chuck". Condolences to his family.
