To the Pagliaro Family:

Sorry to hear about the loss of Mr.Pagliaro..

He was my Scout Master of Troop 199 and boy did we have fun...He was someone you looked to & respected in the highest..I especially loved camping & the jamborees....I remember one in particular where he sent me out to find a smoke shifter from the other troops that were there with us.....Little did I know that it was tradition to sent the new kid out on these jorneys......Of course each troop was in on it and they would just continue to send you on your way.....It took me awhile to catch on when I returned he cetainly had a laugh with ....Those were great times and treasure the memories he allowed us to experience...He was also very supportive of my brother Jeff who lost a lg to cancer when he was 12....Mr. Pagliaro was there for him and certainly left an imprint on him as well......You should be very proud and know he affected many for life......

Peace,

David Keith

To My Aunt Dolores,cousins Nick, Jim, Jean and Janet, and your families....words cannot express my heartfelt sympathy for your loss.

Your husband, father, and my uncle was a funny larger than life man. He was an example to his brothers,(and the whole tribe of Pagliaro's and Pisacane's) and will be missed sorely.

I wish I could have been with you in your time of sorrow, but know that our love and thoughts are with you.
