Rev. Pirie is fondly remembered by me as the Minister of The First Congregational Church in Sharon, Massachusetts. He officiated at our marriage, fifty years ago. I remember a kind and gentle man whom I liked very much. My sympathies to his family.

Rev Pirie's legacy lives on in the First Congregational Church in Billerica. We are sorry for your loss and lift you in prayer. Grace upon grace, The First Congregational Church in Billerica
