Peter Opirhory, age 80 of Wayne, passed peacefully at his home, on Wednesday, February 24, 2010, surrounded by his loving family. Born in Passaic, NJ, he graduated from Passaic High School in 1947. Peter founded Metropolitan Moving and Trucking Company in 1959, which is still operational today. A combat infantry veteran of the Korean War, he received a combat infantry badge the day he arrived on the Korean Peninsula. In 1951, he married his sweetheart, Mary (nee Tramonte), before going overseas. After completing his tour of duty, he returned home to his wife, where they enjoyed fifty eight years of a devoted family life together raising their six children. Peter held his wife and family on a pedestal; all of his life’s endeavors were for their benefit.
Peter is survived by his beloved wife, Mary, and six children: 4 sons, Gregory and his wife Rosanna of Wayne, Douglas and his wife Diana of Wayne, Mitchell and Peter, Jr., of Wayne; and 2 daughters, Debra Opri and her husband David of Santa Monica, CA, Gail Rolleri and her husband Robert of NC. Peter has one surviving brother, Michael Opirhory and his wife Emily of Elmwood Park, NJ, and eleven grandchildren: Peter Scott, Mark, Maria, Natalie, Jackie, Ashley, Caitlin, Daniel, Christopher, Lucas, and Rachel. Peter is also predeceased by his sister Julia in 1984, John in 2008, George in 2001, as well as a 3 yr old brother, in 1926.
Those planning an expression of sympathy in Peter’s name are asked to consider Hospice of New Jersey or Parkinson Research Foundation, P.O. Box 20256, Sarasota, FL 34276.
