Obituary of James Pagliaro

With a soft spot in his heart for the children of his hometown, Beacon, NY, Jim spent countless hours volunteering to coach and organize youth sports during and long after his kids had outgrown their jerseys. Surrounded by team Pagliaro in his final days, this lifelong Mets fan was traded to the Angels on December 30, 2022, in South Carolina. He is survived by his President of Family Operations (wife) Debra, long-time Sr. Advisor (father) John, Assistant Coaches (brothers & sisters in law) Michael & Bonnie and Ronald & Mary, and a five-child staff along with their five spouses in the bullpen (Aaron & Allyssa, Joel & Toni, Regina & Chris, Ryan & Molly, and Angela & Quentin) and all of his grandchildren, nieces & nephews to cover the infield and outfield. In place of condolences or flowers, the family requests those able to donate should contribute to Beacon Junior Baseball in Jim’s memory. Along with sports, he lived the life of a volunteer as a member of the Knights of Columbus, the City of Beacon Fire, and numerous other community groups. Jim's professional life included owning and operating a successful business as a Certified Public Accountant. Services will consist of an upcoming gathering in SC and one in Beacon, NY, at a later date. LGM
