Michael R. Pilato

I will never forget Mike, he was in fact the only one in my life I could say that I idolized! He made me a better person, a more skilled person, and the man of integrity that I am today. Thank you Mike, Rest In Peace with love a caring your old apprentice Rich Sauro

OMG what a shock I never you the great Michael went home to be with the Lord. What a brilliant mind and exceptional talent. What a great marriage and phenomenal reputation.

Michael was a super roll model for a car kid in Watertown. He was just so nice to me and tough with me to teach me. From 1966 to 1969 I went to his shop in the morning before classes started. I was like a sponge sucking up tons of his knowledge. Lessons I’ve used all my life. We called each other silly nick names in fun, the world needs more Michael Pilato’s. I am blessed to call him a friend

Mike was one of the nicest guys especially

to do business with. I could not thank him

enough for his kindness when I had a car

issue. I will miss him and am deeply sad.

I've only known Mike for a few years but he was a super nice guy and a supremely talented car builder - a real loss!!

What can I say........he was just a nice guy, a nice person.

Mike was a frequent visitor to my parts store on Main Street Tewksbury. His presence, his stories and experiences in the hobby will be missed. He was the most impressive restorer I have ever met. His workmanship was no less than impeccable. His talents were extraordinary. PV ANTIQUE & CLASSIC FORD, INC.

I have meet so many Collision industry people over the years, none come close to the level of professionalism and skill that enjoyed seeing in Mike, he helped me more in life than he knew, I am so sad by this news, Sadly I had put of too long a much needed visit to my great mentor, rest in peace Mike you are truly a great man!

So sorry to hear of your loss. My heart is with you all during this very difficult time. My prayers of love, comfort, and peace are with you all. Love you all. Brenda T. and family

Tony and I are both so sorry for your loss. It's been too long and we were always going to get together but never happened. I am sorry for all of you but hold the memories that we shared together.

God has taken as nice a person as I have ever met in 72 years,and his talent for building Hot Rods ,undeniable.
My deepest codolences ti his wonderful family.
