Florie A. Pepe, age 88, of Wayne, peacefully entered the Kingdom of God on Monday, December 28, 2015, after a long, courageous battle with pancreatic cancer.
After serving in the Air Force, he worked at American Light Alloy and then began his career with the Post Office in Wayne until retirement in 1990. Florie was honored with a "Special Commendation Award" from the Postal Service for rushing to the aid of a customer whose car caught fire. He was a loving husband and father and a proud grandfather and great-grandfather who was always willing to lend a hand to a neighbor in need.
Florie is survived by his devoted wife, Mae Pepe (nee Grossi); his daughter Patricia Harvey of Wayne, son Gregory and wife Judy Pepe of Wood-Ridge, and son David and wife Doris Klimenok-Pepe of Middletown; five grandchildren: Michael and wife Regina Pepe, Rebecca and husband Patrick Cecala, Lori and husband Peter Schmatz, Kristin and husband CK Karabinos, and Amanda Pepe; nine great-grandchildren: Vincent and Nicholas Cecala, Carolina and Matthew Pepe, Ryan, Tommy, and Steven Schmatz, and Brianna and Hailey Karabinos; and four siblings: Marie Gaughan, George Pepe, Gerald Pepe, and Josephine Rizzo.
In lieu of flowers, those planning an expression of sympathy in Florie’s name are asked to consider the Lustgarten Foundation, 1111 Stewart Avenue, Bethpage, NY 11714, (lustgarten.org), or a charity of your choice.
