George R. Pescaro

George R. Pescaro, 82, of Northborough, died peacefully on Wednesday, December 14, 2022 at Shrewsbury Nursing Home, surrounded by his loving family.
He leaves his beloved wife of 61 years, Elaine Ann (Publicover) Pescaro; his children, George H. Pescaro, of Millbury, Marie E. Auger and her husband David, of Marlborough, and Gerald R. "Jerry" Pescaro and his wife Kimberly, of Shrewsbury; his grandchildren, Jessica Auger, Rachel Auger, Ryan Pescaro, Victoria Pescaro, and Matthew Genzale; his siblings, Edward Pescaro and his wife Elaine, of Shrewsbury, and Judith Omidbakhsh and her husband Sohrab, of Shrewsbury; along with several nieces and nephews.

Born in Worcester to the late George and Mary (Shea) Pescaro, George was raised and educated in Shrewsbury. He was very successful in the ownership and operation of a Pepperidge Farm franchise, which is still family owned.
He and his family enjoyed spending summers and weekends in Wells, Maine. George loved Western movies and their collectibles, traveling, especially to Las Vegas and the Dominican Republic, gardening, and classic cars. Above all, his family was his world – he loved attending his grandchildren's activities most of all. He also enjoyed coaching Northborough's Baseball team from 1967 to 1976, and actually coached in his younger years while he was still dating Elaine.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to HeartBrothers Foundation, 225 Cedar Hill St., Suite 200, Marlboro, MA 01752.
