Obituary of Pietro Pesce
Please share a memory of Pietro to include in a keepsake book for family and friends.
Pietro “Peter” Pesce, 84, of Lawrenceville, passed away peacefully on Saturday, May 6, 2017, following a brief illness.
Born in Ischia, Italy, Peter came to the United States in 1969, later becoming an American citizen in 1978. An active member of the Princeton Italian-American Sportsmen’s Club, he lived in Princeton, NJ for nine years before settling in Lawrenceville with his wife and children. After retiring from the construction industry (Laborers International Union Local 50), he enjoyed spending time with his family, cultivating his vegetable garden, fishing, hunting, and being an avid follower of Italian soccer and politics. Most summers, he and his wife would return to Ischia and to the home in which he grew up.
Son of the late Giovan Giuseppe Pesce and Maria Rosa (DiMeglio) Pesce, Peter is survived by his loving wife of 50 years, Giovanna “Joan” Pesce; two devoted daughters and a son-in-law, Mary and Joseph Klama, and Lucy Ann Pesce; three beautiful grandchildren, Sofia Marie Klama, Joseph Peter Klama, and Lucas Raymond Klama; and several nieces, nephews and extended family members.
In accordance with his wishes, a funeral mass was held in Ischia, surrounded by childhood friends and family, and followed by a burial in San Domenico Cemetery.
