Some of my fondest memories from my childhood are the delicious Sunday family dinners at my Grandparent's house and wandering around their always flourishing garden. I would like to think I get my love of food from my grandparent's...both eating and growing it. I will remember my Grandpa Mike as being a hard worker and a kind soul. He is greatly missed and always in my heart.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you. May the thought in Revelation 21:4 bring you hope and comfort.
Dear Dale, Adele and Michael
We Will miss your father. W@e have many fond memories we shared with him and your mom throughout all the years we spent together. In the later years when he was very ill himself he was always concerned about our health. We always kept in touch and we will also miss the many breakfasts we had together with Aunt Lucy and Uncle Howard and Aunt Elaine and Uncle Rich.
Here is a bit of information to consider. The first reading at tomorrow's commerative Mass at St. Joseph's for Mike Pignatiello is from the book of Jonah from the Bible. The correlation I drew from this story to the Mike Pignatiello I know is:
A. Where as Jonah's unselfish and courageous act was certainly a single grand event, Mike made a DAILY event of selfless and courageous acts toward his fellow man or woman.
B. Mike is actually the WHALE in this story....God's Enforcer..and Leader. Mike, a strong man of large frame could have easily imposed his will upon you by being physically intimidating. Rather, Mike's leadership was based on solid moral character and wisdom.
There was practically no problem Mike could'nt plot a victorious result to. As well as being able to master any wood or steel shaping machine. All of this and much more by God's good grace.
The PIGNATIELLO FAMILY would like to thank ALL who are writing sentiments, memories and stories for remembering and celebrating the soul of this great man.
Love you PoP!
Hello I would like to tell you about the world's greatest dad and that would be my DAD, Mike Pignatiello. I can honestly say that I am the person I am today because of him. He taught me the values of be honest and doing my best in all things that I do. His love of life was so much apart of his everyday existance amd something I too now possess.I can see the beauty in the things around me as well thanks to Dad.He also put the travel bug in me so much that I work for an airline to get the travel benefits.Dad I love you and will always be praying that your soul will be joining Mom's in heaven.
I thank God for being a member of Mike's family.I like to remember his kindness and generosity to those in need. He was always willing to make sacrifices for others but most especially for his love ones- members of his family.
Mike is a God fearing person. He never forgets to go to church to worship God even in his infirmities. I know God will reward him for all the good he has done. I hope and pray that God will take him in HIS bosom to be with HIM forever
LOve you dearly- DAD and surely pray for you every day. REst in peace and Eleonor is waiting for you

Please accept my deepest condolances in the passing of your father. He was a great guy and we always enjoyed his visits over to Servo Systems Inc in North Olmsted. He'd knock on the door and say "It's the bible salesman". Be assured he will be missed and he and whole family will be in our thoughts and prayers.
