Scott of Lowell, Linda Brogan and her husband Jack of Lowell, Margaret "Peggy" Pitman of Lowell, and Kathleen Lynons and her husband William of Lowell; two brothers, Joseph Pitman of Lowell and James Pitman and his longtime companion Janet DiRocco of Dracut; a sister-in-law Sandy Pitman of Sandford, ME, her daughter-in-law, Melanie Chandonnet of Dracut; and many nieces and nephews.
