Dean always had a cheerful disposition. I don't think I ever saw him with that big, wide grin. He and Bill Hulton and Al Weber and Bud Youkers and I were often playing tennis. We were none of us all that good, so we were pretty evenly matched, I guess.
Dean was a teacher and I suspect his classrooms were cheerful places. I will miss his grin at the next reunion.
One of the nicest persons I knew as a grade school/high school friend. Always seemed to be happy and enjoyable to be around. I'm sure he turned into a wonderful man. I always enjoyed his last name, very unique.
After a nine-month courageous battle with cancer, Dean L. Pecoraro, 65, of Butler passed away Friday at Butler Memorial Hospital.
He was born July 19, 1946, to Louis A. and Agnes Lankiewiez Pecoraro. He was preceded in death by his parents.
He is survived by his wife, Judith Fotta Pecoraro, who he married June 13, 1970; two daughters and sons-in-law, Suzanne and Michael Fleeger and Amanda and Nathaniel Rekich, all of Butler; three grandchildren, Emily Fleeger, Tyler Rekich and Ella Rekich, all of Butler; one sister, Jeanette Kirsch of McDonald, Pa.; and two nieces, Nichole and her husband, Scott McKinney, and Amelia Johnston.
Dean taught geography at Butler Junior High School for 35 years and also sold appliances at R.W. McDonald and Sons for 22 years.
He was a member of Saint Michael the Archangel Roman Catholic Parish, the Slovak Catholic Sokol Golf League and was a master gardener. He also was a former member of the Irene Stacy Board and had volunteered at Meals on Wheels, Broad Street Elementary School and the Community Dinner at the First English Lutheran Church.
Dean especially enjoyed golfing, traveling, gardening, hiking, reading and spending time with his beloved grandchildren.
Dean was blessed to have many close friends in his life. He had a good life, although it was too short. He will be missed by many.
