Our paths have crossed many times over the years. Be it in our children's school or in town. I will be forever grateful for all the help Mike and Sue gave me in running Pack 363. I could not have done it without you. Mike, you will certainly be missed. Not just by me but by the countless people you have touched over the years...

Pigott Family,

If Mike attended SUNY Farmingdale '80-'82 in Aerospace Technology, then he and I were friends and classmates. I remember Mike working his way through college as a Clammer on the Great South Bay. We all went our seperate ways after college, but I often thought of Mike. I'll continue to keep him in my prayers.

Your family is in our hearts, thoughts and Prayers..May God guide you and Bless you.

Dear Pigott Family,
As a former classmate of Mikes for several years (OLPH), I was saddened to hear of this tragic news. I also ran into Mike several times a few years back while I working as a Detective in Queens. He was just a real nice guy and will be missed. You have my most sincere condolences, and will be in my prayers. God Bless you all.

Dear Mrs. Pigott, Robert, Michael, and Elizabeth,
I just want you to know that you have constantly been in my thoughts and prayers these past few days. There are no words that I can place here that will take any of your sadness away. If at anytime over the next few days, months, or years that you need anything, anything at all please do not hesitate to call on me. On the occasions that I met with Mr. Pigott, I always thought..."My students' parents should all be this way...a kind, caring man who loved his family deeply." I could just tell that each time I spoke with him.
May God Bless you all and help you through in your time of need.
Mrs. Janet Cozza
