Dad, we are approaching the 4 year anniversary of your passing on the 21st, time just flys by! We still think of you daily, that will never change. All of your friends and family miss you so much ! We said you will NEVER be forotten and that holds true because on Thursday 10/21 a sign will be put up on I-91 between exits 7 & 8 displaying "Officer Daniel P. Picagli Memorial Bridge" It will be there forever as an honor to a great man ! There are so many things to honor you, my LODD lisence plate, my decal on my rear window, i have your prayer card and memorial pins in my car as well. Your picture is in my room and in many neighbors and relatives houses. I think about you and the great memories we shared together all the time. I still have an ultimate goal of being following in your footsteps and being a cop just like you. Its sad to see how many "brothers and sisters" have made the ultimate sacrifice before and after you, this total is much to high. Continue to watch over our family and friends as well as other officers. I LOVE AND MISS YOU SO MUCH R.I.P DAD <33

As Eli Whitney's 25th High School reunion is being planned I turned to my yearbook to recall a face for those I may have forgotten over time. When I open it, out spills the articles I saved surrounding your accident and death and I cry. Flat out break down and cry. Your prayer card is stuck between the pages where your high school photos is. Who knew Dan that I would miss someone so much, someone I only knew for a short time. You had a positive impact in my troubled teen life. You certainly weren't like the other "boys". You were sensitive and just down right decent. You married a childhood friend of mine and had beautiful children together. How I wish we stayed close. I really could have used friends like you and Dee but at the time I was caught up in my own life. Had I only reached out...I know you would have been there. The day you passed is the day this world lost a truly good person. You did so much; every one loved and admired you. I can only aspire to be more like you Dan. God rest your soul. And God bless your family. I will always remember you.

Hey Dan,

I know you are in heaven watching over us. Please help us and continue being our guardian Angel. Hey, Christmas is around the corner and I can't believe how time flies. so much has changed since you left us. People have moved on, others have passed but your memory will live with us forever.

Dan, I wanted to ask you if you have seen my Dad up in Heaven. He is the most sweetes man you will find. You can't miss him, he should be sitting right by God's side. In fact his name on this eath was Jesus. He is light skin, puggy face, has a smile that lights up ths skies and he even looks like Santa.

Hey Dan if you ever come across him please tell him that I love him. It has been 11 years and it feels like it was yesterday. Please give him a big hug for me and and tell him your my guardina angels.

Merry Christmas Buddy and have a great Birthday Celebration with the rest of the Angels.

Good Morning dear brother-in-law,

As everyone else, I cannot believe that 3 years have passed. It seems like yesterday that we received the tragic news of your accident. Ironically, this past Saturday, the 17th, I took a friend to the YNNH emergency room. When he called, I grabbed clothes and practically dressed as I was walking out the door. You must have known, because on my back, was the "Roll Call" sweatshirt that I purchased during my first visit to Nationl Police Week. As Derek lay in his bed, begging for relief from his discomfort, I found myself reflecting on the fact that there I sat, begging for your recovery, 3 short years ago. It still seems so unimaginable..... much has changed... and how the children have grown... It saddens us all to have lost Pauly recently, but at the same time, it comforts us to know that the two of you are together again. We love & miss you both so very much. XOXOXOXO
