Peter J. Pancari, Jr., age 88, of South Fayette Township, passed away surrounded by his family on Friday, February 7, 2025. He was born on November 8, 1936, in Bridgeville, a devoted son of the late Peter and Helen (Golden) Pancari, and beloved husband of the late Anne ‘Bunny’ (Naples) Pancari. Preceded in death by his only sibling and best friend, the late John ‘Jack’ (Kathy) Pancari.

Pete was a loving and dedicated father to Pete (Robin) Pancari and Angela (Michael) Cornwell. His pride and joy were his three grandchildren, Danielle (Steven) Baker, Chelsea Pancari (fiancé Garren Brandenberger) and Jared Nofsinger (partner Samantha Dax). Pete was also blessed with three beautiful great-grandchildren, Sadie, Sydney and the late Rhys Baker.

Pete was a lifetime resident of Bridgeville and a mechanic by trade. He was also an avid outdoorsman. He enjoyed hunting, fishing and relaxing at his camp but his number one love was his family. Endlessly generous, always present and continually there to lend a helping hand. Pete, a man of uncompromising integrity and strength and described by many as ‘larger than life’. We are grateful to have had him for as long as we did, and he will be forever missed.
