Richard T. Pioli

Prayers and peace cousin.

A spectacular human, an excellent drama teacher, director and mentor to a star-struck 16 year old.

He was our favotite teacher at Montgomery Blair High School back in 1961(!), and that year directed us in the "annual show" of "Carousel" - an unforgettable production - not a dry eye in the house!!

We always enjoyed Dick´s company.He was a great man and all of Alpha loved him

Dick was so supported of his wife and helped whenever necessary! He displayed a true spirit of God to all he met! His family was doubly blessed by both their parents! May his family continue his spirit and faith in all they do!! Love, Maureen McCabe

I have nothing but wonderful memories of Mr. Pioli and still remember lessons he taught. As a definitely off-stage member of the cast, I was grateful when he told the actors that without makeup or lights or props provided by the anonymous back stage crew, they would be helpless. He gave the shy ones hope! And his English classes were memorable and fun. He was a wonderful teacher in many areas, and a wonderful person. My deepest condolences to his beloved family.

Thank you for instilling me a love of Broadway, theater , and nothing was too large to tackle. I have thought of you so much over th years. Your energy lives on Mr. P

He was the best grandfather and one of the kindest friends I´ve known. I feel so lucky to have been close with him and learn about his incredible life and legacy. He will be dearly missed but celebrated forever. Love you Grano
