LOUIS BIGGIO Obituary


LOUIS A. BIGGIO Louis A. Biggio, 93, died at home on October 10, 2013, as quietly and peacefully as he
lived. A career Air Force Officer with the rank of Lt. Colonel, he retired after 23 years of active duty as a pilot and Staff Officer. After retiring he worked for the government for 10 years. He then returned to New Jersey and owned a business on the Jersey shore. He and his wife, Mary, ran a furniture-wicker shop on Long Beach Island, working in the summer and relaxing and travelling in the winter, for over 20 years. He loved to travel and was a loyal New York (later San Francisco) Giants baseball fan. He was a continuous rooter for 77 years and kept busy in his retired days following the team from its Spring Training in Arizona to its opening season at their home field at San Francisco. Born in Palisades, New Jersey, he graduated from Montclair University and attended Law and Accounting school, while in the service. A member of Mensa and always a bright addition to a conversation or discussion with a kind and sympathetic spirit. He'll be missed by his wife, Mary, and friends and relatives. He was predeceased by his sons, Christopher and Michael, his stepson, Lee Butz and his brother Jim.

I think of Lou regularly. The time spent with him were some of the best times of my life. I'm certain he and Bob and Sal are talking Giants baseball and anxiously awaiting tonights Game 5.

Our Dearest Lou...We spent 16 springs in AZ with Lou at Scottsdale Stadium watching our beloved S.F. Giants get ready for the coming season. In the early 1980's, spring training attracted only a few die-hard fans. Lou Biggio, who could recite stats of most players there (in addition to many future Giants who weren't), attracted many fans because of his astounding knowledge of baseball. Soon his "baseball family" consisted of at least 35 Giant fans. We all became close, keeping in touch throughout the years. When the new stadium was built, the Giants changed dugouts. Since our season tickets had been behind the old Giants dugout, we were all contacted to see if we wanted to move. It so happened that Lou was out of the country. By the time we were contacted, I said we wanted to sit wherever Lou Biggio was sitting. The lady on the line said "just who is this Lou Biggio"? If she only knew... He was loved.

We will miss you Lou (Col). I enjoyed talking baseball with you and I always appreciated your support as I worked my way through baseball. I know we all will be thinking of you this spring training. We miss you.
