Pius made a living from the sea.  He spent many years as a deckhand and Chief Engineer on the fishing trawlers.  He was a man of many talents-engineer, mechanic, cook, and all-around handyman.  Always willing to lend a helping hand to others.  He always provided for his family and put their needs before his own.  His forever smile and willingness to tell a story or have a yarn will be missed and never forgotten by his family and all those who knew him.
