James Pirog
James Pirog, 64, of Concord, died Sunday, January 26 after a long battle with cancer.
He was born to Michael and Anne Pirog, March 31, 1949, in Manchester, NH. Jim graduated from Memorial High School in 1967 and received an AS in Electrical Engineering from New Hampshire Tech in 1970 and a BS in Business Management from New Hampshire College in 1972. He resided in Londonderry, NH for almost 20 years with his family before moving to Concord, NH.
Jim was a Manufacturing Engineer at Jewel Instruments for 10 years before becoming a Manufacturing Manager at Beede Electrical where he continued to work until shortly before his death. He was well respected and liked by his colleagues.
Jim was a fiercely independent perfectionist of great passion who cared about doing things the right way. This was reflected in his beautiful works of stained glass, his self-taught and masterful home improvements and a well-tended garden. He loved fishing and enjoyed playing football, softball and volleyball in his youth. His dry sense of humor and sarcasm were legendary. He was a loving and caring father who did anything and everything for his children.
Jim is survived by his two children: Erika Anne Pirog, of Concord, NH and Michael James Pirog, of San Francisco, CA and their mother, Lillian Pirog of Litchfield, NH; his mother Anne Pirog of Manchester, NH; his brothers: Michael Pirog Jr. of Atkinson, NH, John Pirog and Gary Pirog both of Manchester, NH; and his nieces Tania LaFrance of Dallas, TX and Nicole Pirog of Newburyport, MA.
In lieu of flowers, the family is requesting that donations be made out to the American Brain Tumor Association.
The world has lost the kindest and most generous hard-nosed man it has ever known.
He will be missed.
Services: A gathering of remembrance will be held on Friday, January 31th between 4-6pm at the Cremation Society for New Hampshire at Phanuefs Funeral Home 243 Hanover St. Manchester with words of remembrance held by his children at 5. Interment will be private. In lieu of flowers the family requests that all loving remembrances be forward American Brain Tumor Association
