Peter Andrew Bifone

Peter Andrew Bifone was born on November 5, 1970 in West Simsbury, CT to Lily and John Bifone, Sr. He spent his formative and early adult years playing sports, especially baseball. He graduated from Trinity High School and Bellarmine College. He then pursued business administration where he worked to successfully provide for his family.

When Peter was young, he was a very accomplished athlete. He participated in many sports but he loved baseball. When he played Little League, he was always one of the stars of his team and at age 13 qualified for the World Series in Newark, OH. Later, he attended Trinity High School in Louisville where he pitched for their baseball team and was a starting linebacker for their football team. Upon graduation, he accepted a football scholarship from Morehead State College and after being "redshirted" in his freshman year he decided to accept a scholarship in baseball from Bellarmine College where he was later enshrined in Bellarmine's Baseball Hall of Fame. In January of 1994, he was signed as a free agent to the Spokane Indians, a professional team of the San Diego Padres minor league where he played first base.

Peter was a charismatic, loving father who enjoyed baseball, golf, and recently revisiting his teenage drum-playing up until the day of his passing. He had a keen empathic sense that allowed him to set a powerful example of always helping someone in need.
