Pete was a 1969 graduate of Bishop Eustace High School in Pennsaukin, N.J. He graduated from Wheeling College in 1969 and enrolled at Gonzaga University’s School of Law. While Pete was in college and law school he enjoyed playing rugby with several teams. He spent the bulk of his working career as an attorney in Albuquerque, N.M. where he became a hot air balloon enthusiast. He moved to Pittsburgh nearly 20 years ago, where he continued to make his home and became part of a new community. Pete was proud of his Philadelphia roots and remained a staunch rooter of the Philadelphia sports teams, although he did learn to  tolerate the Pittsburgh teams. Faith and fellowship were important to Pete as he was a member of St. Joseph the Worker Parish and the Knights of Columbus. Pete had a great interest in reading and studying his Irish heritage and was a member of the Ancient Order of Hibernians, Div. 17 in Monroeville.

Those who knew Pete will remember his friendly manner, his kindness, and the engaging way in which he carried himself.

There will not be a visitation.

All are welcome to his Mass of Christian Burial which will take place in St. Joseph the Worker Church (formerly St. Maurice) Ardmore Blvd. in Forest Hills on Wednesday, July 22 at 10 a.m.
