I met your family in 2008 . Your son Dan was my husband best friend in school . As years went by they don’t see each other often but
Every time I drive to north haven I see your memory marker and think about them . Also my husband became a New Haven police officer a few years after and when I go to the police station I see a nice picture of you there and read such a lovely message about you . Rest in peace, you will never forgotten by the countless people that you've influenced in your brief time with us

Every time I take a road trip I keep a list of the memorial markers I see along the highway so I can look up the stories of the man or woman when I get home and learn a little bit more about how they came to their end of tour. On my journey from Georgia to Massachusetts, just a week before the horrific bombings at the Boston Marathon, I came across the marker for Officer Picagli.
Thank you for sharing his story with me. I hope that his wife and kids will see this and smile knowing that somewhere in the world a perfect stranger has read the story of their husband and father and walked away with at least a small bit of knowledge about the great things he did during his lifetime.

Till this day it makes me sad to remember that I last saw you the night before you got hit. I never got a chance to tell you what a wonderful person you were.

Dad, we are approaching the 4 year anniversary of your passing on the 21st, time just flys by! We still think of you daily, that will never change. All of your friends and family miss you so much ! We said you will NEVER be forotten and that holds true because on Thursday 10/21 a sign will be put up on I-91 between exits 7 & 8 displaying "Officer Daniel P. Picagli Memorial Bridge" It will be there forever as an honor to a great man ! There are so many things to honor you, my LODD lisence plate, my decal on my rear window, i have your prayer card and memorial pins in my car as well. Your picture is in my room and in many neighbors and relatives houses. I think about you and the great memories we shared together all the time. I still have an ultimate goal of being following in your footsteps and being a cop just like you. Its sad to see how many "brothers and sisters" have made the ultimate sacrifice before and after you, this total is much to high. Continue to watch over our family and friends as well as other officers. I LOVE AND MISS YOU SO MUCH R.I.P DAD <33
