Mr. Pierson was my elementary school principal at Robinson back in the early 80’s. As a teacher today, all of my principals are measures against him and no one can hold a candle to him. He will be greatly missed. He was truly one of a kind. My condolences to the Pierson family. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

I remember many times visiting Robinson School as a Curriculum Supervisor and meeting in Dick’s office. He was the most gracious and kind person, always taking my coat and offering me a chair and even some coffee. Dick was a true professional who deeply cared about his staff and students. I still remember his kind smile and warm laugh. Rest In Peace Dick.
Condolences to Kathy and all his children and grandchildren. He will be missed.

Please accept our condolences for your deep loss. More than 40 years ago, Lorraine and I built a house across the street from you. We will always remember the kindness of Dick and your entire family during our brief time there. One always remembers certain families who are classically good people. That is how we remember the Piersons.
We will keep you in our prayers during this difficult time.
Best wishes, Dave and Lorraine Kostinas
