John Pirc Obituary
John was born on September 9, 1928 in Queens, NY to the late Mary and Frank Pirc. He was a first generation American after his parents immigrated to NY from Slovenia.
John obtained an Associate degree from John Jay College of Criminal Justice. John retired as a Lieutenant after serving 24 years in the New York City Police Department.
John was a faithful Roman Catholic parishioner of St. Mary of the Assumption in Katonah, NY, attending mass on a daily basis until the COVID-19 Pandemic, and continuing each Sunday when church re-opened for Mass.
He was preceded in death by his loving wife of 46 years Mabel (1927-1999), his brother Edward (1925 -1944), and sister Mimi (1923 - 2013).
John is survived by his loving children, Edward (Jill) of Ossining, NY and John (Jenny) of Brewster, NY. He was the devoted grandfather to Jessica Pirc of Cross River, NY, Brian Pirc of Ossining, NY, Charlie Pirc of Victor, ID, Willie (Sydney) Pirc of Scottsdale, AZ, Allison Caulfield of Cross River, NY, and great-grandchildren Dylan and Sadie Caulfield of Cross River, NY
John was an avid golfer and sports enthusiast. There was rarely a sporting event of his children or grandchildren that John would not attend, no matter the distance. He was an expert auto mechanic and dedicated church-going family man.

Mr. and Mrs. Pirc were as genuine and authentic as they come. I remember first meeting them in September of 1977. They never changed. Ed, John and all family members, please celebrate the life of a true American. Thankfully, he is at peace. A life lived in full.
God bless you Mr. Pirc,
David
