Obituary for Peter D. Lucchino
Peter D. Lucchino, 78, formerly of Pittston, peacefully passed away at home on July 13, 2022 surrounded by his loving family. He was the son of the late David and Doris (Chairge) Lucchino of West Pittston.
Pete was a graduate of West Pittston High School. He attended one year at Penn State until the sudden death of his father prompted his return home to help support his family.
Pete owned several dress factories in the Greater Pittston Area and Southern PA. His work eventually took him to Southern PA where he has resided for the past 40 years. He and his wife Fran owned and operated Greencastle Antique Mall until selling the business upon retiring. Pete was also a very generous man, who donated to countless non-profit organizations over the years.
Pete enjoyed spending winters in Florida golfing with his wife and friends. He was an avid hunter and Penn State fan. However, his favorite role was that of a father and grandfather. Pete was very devoted to his family and would spend numerous hours traveling to spend time with those most important to him. He was a “rock” for his family, always the protector and guardian. He loved and expected rum cake for his and everyone’s birthday, enjoyed homemade red wine and gave the best hugs.
Pete was preceded in death by his parents, and his faithful companion Luke.
He will be deeply missed by his wife of 34 years, Frances (Fayetteville); son Dave (Jane), Ponte Vedra Beach, FL; daughter Corinne, Old Forge, PA; step daughter, Dina Lininger (Tom) Chambersburg, PA; six grandchildren: Madison and Peter Lucchino, Kevin and Amanda Yanul and Sarah and Abby Lininger; and his sister, Johanna Lucchino, Wilkes Barre, PA.
Arrangements are by Thomas L. Geisel Funeral Home and Cremation Center, Chambersburg, PA.
Friends may call from 2PM-4PM on Thursday, July 21st at Adonizio Funeral Home, 251 William St, Pittston, PA 18640. Interment will be at St John’s Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to St. Jude’s at: ALSASC/St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital, 501 St. Jude Place, Memphis, TN 38105
