OBITUARY
Remembering Michael Pirisino of Maryland Line Handling
On August 10, Michael A. Pirisino, founder of Rosedale-based Maryland Line Handling, passed away. Born in Dundalk in 1932, Pirisino went into business for himself in 2000.
Pirisino was a proud member of the International Longshoremen’s Association Local 333 for decades before he founded Maryland Line Handling. “The opportunity to have his own business just presented itself,” said Pirisino’s son, Michael F. Pirisino.
A treasured tradition for Pirisino
was Maryland Line Handling’s annual assistance in tying up ships for Fleet Week, most notably the USS Zumwalt, a 610-foot-long Navy guided-missile destroyer that visited Baltimore in 2016.
In addition, Pirisino was known for making charitable contributions to the community. “He gave to the International Seafarers and worked with MSC to raise money for veterans,” his son said.
Michael A. Pirisino was “a loving father and grandfather,” he added. In addition to his son Michael F. Pirisino, the elder Pirisino leaves behind a daughter named Maria Butta and
five grandchildren. His wife Mary predeceased him. 􏰀
