Peter J. Loprete, 101, passed away peacefully on March 24, 2026 at Care One. Born in Newark, NJ, he enlisted in the Army serving in WWII as a T-5 Corporal and MP overseas. He was a successful insurance agent with Allstate for 37 years.
Pete and Yolanda, his wife of 68 years, spent time between New Jersey and Palm Coast, Florida. They enjoyed golfing together and Lindy was Pete’s biggest fan watching him play softball for Wadsworth and the Senior Olympics. Pete pitched until he was 90. They were members of the Italian American Club, American Legion, Elks, VFW, and the Palm Coast Yacht Club. He was a practicing Catholic and charitable to friends and causes. Pete was always ready with a song or a joke to brighten up your day.
He was predeceased by his wife, and three brothers, John, Martin, Louis, and sister, Mildred. He will be greatly missed by his children Robert (Deborah), Leslie (Bob), Donna; grandchildren Robbie, Michael, Jeffrey, Ali, and Nick; great grandchildren Steven, Harper, Lily; and many friends and teammates in Palm Coast especially Beth and Charlie Corallo who were so kind until the end. A service and celebration of Life will take place at a later date. Pete is now coaching and pitching for God’s softball team and telling the outfield where to play. Love you Dad. Rest in peace. Go Yankees!
