Peter Pine Obituary
Peter Pine
Oct. 2, 1948 - Dec. 11, 2021
FORT MYERS BEACH, FL - Peter Pine, 73, of Fort Myers Beach, Florida passed away peacefully on December 11, 2021 after a long battle with cancer. Throughout his battle, he never lost his sense of humor.
Peter grew up in Union Springs, then spent many years living on Owasco Lake, where he was known for his summertime parties and epic bonfires. Peter owned Pine's Office Products from 1981 to 2001, continuing the business his father started in 1940.
In 2001, Peter moved to Fort Myers Beach, where he met his wife, Carla. They spent the last 15 years together. While in Fort Myers Beach, Peter was a successful real estate agent, working for Century 21 TriPower Realty for almost 20 years. Peter met many great friends in Florida and he was known as a kind, generous man, providing help to anyone who needed it. Everyone who met Peter loved him. He loved dogs, especially his newly adopted Havanese puppy, Pixie. His love for dogs, led him to volunteer for various dog rescue organizations.
Peter is survived by Carla, his wife of 10 years; his son, Jeff; his daughter-in-law, Sandy and his daughter, Jessica. He is also survived by his sisters: Mary Jane (Dale) and Peggy; his brothers: Kevin and Tom (Beth) as well as several nieces, nephews and cousins. He was preceded in death by his parents, Augustus (Gus) and Jane; his brother, Paul and his dog, Brady.
Peter's wishes included cremation with no formal services. To honor Peter's memory, his wish was that we raise a toast with a Coors Light, his favorite drink. In Peter's memory donations may be made to Havanese Angel League Organization for Rescue (rescuedhavanese.org.).

Remember when Pete borrowed his dad's BMW and went for a drive. Pete always liked to live on the edge.

Dear Carla and family, So sorry to hear about your loss and Peter's passing. I just remembered him, spontaneously looked up his name and saw this obituary. Fondly remember Mr. Pine as a kid. When I was btw ages 8 - 11 yrs old back in the early 80's, I went into local businesses door-to-door looking for work, in the Fives points area of Auburn, NY. I'll never forget walking into Pines Offices Supply not long after they opened, asked for the boss/owner. Mr. Pine came out full mustache and his larger than life persona he was famous for. I was persistent, guess he liked that and hired me on the spot, did some landscaping, odd clean up jobs around the building. I'll never forget that. He was so great to give this then young industrious boy from the neighborhood a shot, a job, way to work hard, develop work ethic and character. I never let him down and he seemed happy with me. God bless you and your family, and may Peter "Mr. Pine" be resting in eternity joyfully with our Lord and Savior. Warm Regards, Henry
Lou and Linda Alfieri.
