PICCOLI, RICHARD EDWARD

September 15, 2014 4 Condolences

PICCOLI,

Piccoli, Richard E., 81, of Scottsdale AZ, passed away with his family by his side on September 11, 2014.  Richard was born in Chicago, IL to William and Melanie Piccoli on November 24, 1932.

In 1949, Richard’s family relocated to Arizona. This is where he met his wife and together they raised their sons. Richard retired from Basha’s after 18 years of service followed by a number of years at Walgreens.

Richard is preceded in death by his parents William and Melanie Piccoli and brother Father Gino Piccoli O.F.M. He is survived by his sister Irene Piccoli, his loving wife of 57 years, Agnes Piccoli, his four sons Michael (Amanda), Mark (Darlene), Chris (Melissa), and Rick (Cherie), grandchildren Andrew, Amanda (Kevin) Butt, Karli, Ricky, Cherish, Dylan, and Anthony, three great-grandchildren and many wonderful friends.

Richard was a loving and caring husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, and friend. He will be truly missed by all who knew him.  A Memorial Mass will be held at 10:00am, Thursday, September 18, 2014 at St. Daniel the Prophet Catholic Church, 1030 N. Hayden Rd., in Scottsdale.  

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests a donation be made in Richard’s name to St. Mary’s Food Bank, 2831 N. 31st Ave., Phoenix, AZ 85009.  Arrangements entrusted to Whitney & Murphy Funeral Home.

    Richard lived next door to us for 20 years and was the kindest, most generous man. We have been so lucky to have met him and have him in our lives. Our thoughts and prayers are with Richard’s entire family.

    It will be the little things
    that you will remember,
    the quiet moments,
    the smiles, the laughter.
    And although it may seem
    hard right now,
    it will be the memories
    of these little things
    that help to push
    away the pain
    and bring the smiles
    back again. We have hope
    in Daniel 12:2; JW.ORG

    Agnes & Family,
    Gloria & I feel as if we know your family. Margaret has told us so much about Richard and Agnes over the last several years, that we have grown to care for them as does she. The love and devotion that Richard and Agnes have shown for each other, and their extended family over their 57-years of marriage, is truly inspirational! You all have been truly blessed with such a good and decent man, as Richard, in your lives!

    Please accept our deepest sympathy (over the miles from WI) on the loss of your beloved husband, father, and great-grandfather . And, I know Richard was a very special friend to my sister, Margaret The world has lost a Point of Light, but Heaven will be so much brighter for it! Sincerely,…..Steve & Gloria Roberts (Wausau, Wi). . .

    Please accept my heartfelt sympathy on the loss of Richard. I worked with Richard in the late 1970’s at A.J. Bayless Markets where Richard was part of the management team at the store on Southern and Dobson avenues. Some of my fondest memories come from working at that store. It was like one big family and Richard was a part of that family. I will always remember his eagerness to help out and his warm gentle humor. He may be gone but we will always have the memories.
