Paul James Piper "Jimmy" "Mad Dog"

Hi, my name is Joyce, and I'm raising funds for my dad, Jim. He passed away suddenly on 3/21/24. Unfortunately, he was in between life insurance policies, and there is nothing in place to cover his cremation/arrangements. I am trying to raise money to help with these costs. My dad was one of a kind, and was a loyal friend to a fault. He loved his family, and was passionate about weightlifting and physical fitness. He spent time training and mentoring many patrons of the old Fitchburg Weightlifting Club, and presently, Fitchburg Strength and Fitness. He could often be heard yelling, "Put your dam weights away"! His death has come as a shock to all of us, as we know he never knew he wouldn't wake up that morning. While cleaning out his apartment, his desk calendar marked the upcoming Bruins games and WWE times. I know he was supposed to wake up, and go about his day, as usual, but that never happened. We miss his stories, his gruff voice, and his endless amounts of candy bars. He enjoyed a good meal, and by good meal, I mean anything with meat, and lots of it. If you were lucky enough to be a friend of his, you knew it, and if you were unfortunate to be an enemy, you definitely knew it. I know things are expensive everywhere right now and times are tough. If you are at all able to donate, please know, it is more than appreciated. If you are unable to donate, please say a prayer for his family to get through this most difficult time. Thank you!
