The cause of death is unknown at this time. Pieroni served as sheriff for 14 years, retiring in 1992 at the age of 60. Look for more in Friday’s News-Times.
**UPDATE** I’m told that Pieroni died after a “lengthy illness.”
Former Union Co. Sheriff A. Pieroni dies
With all due respect, in the obit, it mentioned “he grew the best vegetables in Union County.”
Granted, I never tasted any of the vegetables he grew (that I’m aware of)… But, is this saying that I can pretty much make any claim I’d like in print … if my family is willing to pay for it?
For example, “Joe married the most beautiful girl to ever grace the sidewalks of Smackover, Arkansas” … or “Bill was the best banjo player ever from Lisbon” … ?
Just wondering.
I’m told it was a paid obit, so yes you can. Think of all the ones that say “she was a fine Christian woman.” That could also be disputed.
Get over it guys, it’s an obit – does it really matter? Shame on you.
