A.K.A "Pete", "Papi", "Mr. S", "Abuelo", "Italian Stallion"
June 23, 1954- March 30, 2016
On March 30, 2016 at 10:45 pm, Peter passed peacefully in his sleep with the comfort of his wife, Gloria Sapunarich, by his side. He transitioned home to be with his Savior at the Valley Hospital in Ridgewood, NJ at the age of 61.
Preceded by his mother, Madeline Tennison, and beloved step-father Thomas Sapunarich; his father, Frank Sapunarich, and beloved stepmother Jean Ann Sapunarich; and his brother Michael.
Peter is survived by his wife, Gloria Sapunarich, of 17 years.
He is lovingly remembered by his 5 children: Jessica, Juanita, Janine, Seana, and Jonathan; 4 grandaughters: Miranda, Saniya, Brielle, and Haley; Siblings: Cathy, Madeline, Marie, Jimmy S., Jimmy W., Jeannie, Noreen, Patty, TJ, and Butch.
Peter was born on June 23, 1954 in Teaneck, NJ. He proudly and honorably served our country in the Army as an Executive Chef. As a civilian, he tirelessly worked as a Service Manager for Jersey City Ford for over 25 years.
One of his passions was cooking and his known speciality was his "one of a kind" meatballs. He was a devoted fan of The Sopranos and cherished every moment with family! He enjoyed going crabbing up the shore, traveling to the serenity of Florida, and making the love of his life, Gloria, smile everyday.
A man of unwavering confidence and integrity, his life touched so many. He was the one you'd turn to if you needed a comforting hug, a voice of reason, or a reality check about what truly matters. He was one of God's angels that taught us "true love." He will never be forgotten and forever in our hearts!
Bada Bing Pete!!!!! We will love you, always!
