Obituary of Richard A. Piccirillo Sr.

Richard (Ricky) Piccirillo, Sr., passed away peacefully on May 5, 2014 at the age of 59 surrounded by everyone he loved. Ricky was owner/operator of the Arctic Sports Shop and most recently worked for AL-Lynn Associates in Shelton. He was an avid sports fan who could always be found in the stands at his boy's sporting events or coaching from the sidelines or dugouts. Ricky had a zest for life which was evident in his wise cracking remarks, huge smile and sparkle in his blue eyes. The greatest joy of his life was his family. He was especially proud of his sons Rick and Nick.

He will join in heaven his mother Kathy Piccirillo, brother Billy Piccirillo, mother/father-in-law Mary and Michael Frascatore, brother/sister-in-law Ralph and Stella Frascatore, aunts Marietta and Edith Frascatore, and aunt/uncle Peg and Bill Devore.
