May your memories of his sweet smile and caring nature console you. May his legacy live on through you, Perry & Diane, A.J. & Carolyn, and your adult children, Perry, David with fiancée Monica and Andrew. He was such a devoted husband to your Mother Anna, visiting her daily when she was in the local health care facility on Main Street in Bridgeport. Both of your parents welcomed me, Tony's fiance, into their home and that of your Uncle Perry and Great Uncle Perry Pilotti, over forty years ago since Tony's Mother had died in his first year of life. Anna was a close cousin of Tony's Aunt Rose, who cared for Tony. Her bubbly nature was contagious and complimented the quiet side of your dear Father, Armand, or "Jimmy" as we called him. Their mutual enjoyment in people, in entertaining with pasta dinners and in sharing photos and videos of you as young children along with their many jokes put smiles on many people's faces and that happiness lives on in their hearts. He was so proud to show us his pigeons and their well-cared for quarters in your yard on Broadway in Bridgeport. He was even more proud to tell us about his sons, their beaus and later wives, and his grandsons. We would meet him at the yearly Memorial Mass at NDHS, where he would have breakfast with us, chatting about the good old days and Arctic Sports Shop, Perry Pilotti, baseball, the Yankees, and updates on all of you, his prides and joys. He embodied the true essence of what it means to be a Father, Father-in-law and Grandfather, Uncle, Cousin, neighbor and friend to so many people. He truly lived Jesus' message to love one another. His soul will guide you from heaven, where he once again is singing and dancing with your Mother. He will send you spiritual carrier pigeons with heavenly inspirational, wise messages in the early pre-dawn quiet hours of the day! Blessings to all of you. Love, Tony, Claudette, Dawn, Lisa and John Anthony, your Pilotti Bridgeport, Connecticut cousins
