Pete was a paratrooper in the US Army 82nd Airborne during the Vietnam War. He was a long time CFU member of Lodge 141 in East Pittsburgh. He was a guard at the Allegheny County Jail in the 1970s and then went onto work at Volkswagen of America. Lastly, for 25 years, he worked at Mercy Hospital of Pittsburgh as a Night Shift Supervisor in Security until he retired five years ago. Pete was a devoted husband, loving father and grandfather, loyal neighbor and friend. His children and grandchildren were the number one priority in his life. Pete enjoyed all his children's school activities, sporting events (especially softball), and was proud of all their achievements. He was an avid hunter in his earlier years and his prize possession was a ten point buck. Pete was a gun enthusiast and nature lover. He also enjoyed bowling, fishing, and going to the casinos. Working outdoors and cutting grass on his riding lawn mower was one of his favorite things to do. His grandchildren always made him smile and feel important. They were his reason for living. Pete was known as Honey, Dad, Pap Pap, Peso, Viejo, Pinky and to the children of the neighborhood, Mr. Pete. His loyal, four-legged companion, Lucy, remained his furry friend but his wife, Linda, will always be his best friend. Friends welcome Tuesday from 2-4 and 6-8 p.m. at PATRICK T.
