Peter J. "Pete" Musto passed away at his home surrounded by his loving family Saturday, March 18, 2023.
The beloved husband of Jennifer Furlong Musto, he was 57 years of age.
Pete was born in Dupont to Barbara Kobi Musto and the late Peter J. Musto. Raised and educated there, Pete was a graduate of Pittston Area High School. He continued his education at Pennsylvania State University, where he received his bachelor's degree in electrical engineering.
Pete began his professional career at NASA in Florida as an electrical engineer. It was while he was working at NASA that he attended the University of Central Florida and received his master's degree in electrical engineering. Following his career at NASA, Pete decided to use his expertise at a new position at Boston Scientific in Minnesota, where he remained up until five years ago when he transferred to Boston, making his home in Woburn with his family.
With an unforgettable smile that would light up a room, Pete was an extremely friendly, funny and outgoing person who lived life to the fullest. A very bright, articulate man, he became a mentor to many and a friend to all that he met. But above all was the love he had for his family. They were his pride and joy throughout his life.
He was a devoted fan of Nittany Lions football and of all things sports-related. He and Jennifer would attend one Penn State football game a year. Whether from Minnesota or Woburn, it was never too far to travel. He also loved music. He attended as many concerts as possible, the louder the better.
In addition to his wife and mother, Pete is survived and will be deeply missed by his children, Nicholas Musto, Kansas; Matthew Musto, Washington; Connor Johnson, Woburn; Cameron Johnson, Minnesota; and Chandler Johnson, Minnesota; dearly loved older brother of Tracey Musto; Michelle and husband, Sal Giamber; and Angela Musto, Pennsylvania; several loving nieces and nephews; and his trusted and loyal companion, their dog, Maisie.
In lieu of flowers, remembrances may be made in Pete's memory to the Pete Musto Scholarship Fund at the RACE Cancer Foundation, 45 Prospect St., Cambridge, MA 02139.
Relatives and friends are invited to pay their respects from 9 to 11 a.m. Saturday. A funeral service will follow at 11 a.m. in Lynch–Cantillon Funeral Home, 263 Main St., Woburn.
