Titusville, Florida, at the age of 72. Born on August 10, 1953, in Oceanside, New York, Peter's life was a testament to his enduring faith, love for his family, and his remarkable skills as a craftsman.
Peter's journey began as the beloved son of Frances (Cusano) Smircich and the late Peter Smircich. His early years in Oceanside were filled with the love and support of his family, which would later serve as the foundation for the incredible life he built. He was a devoted brother to Linda Smircich and Ann Welsby, whose lives were enriched by his presence.
In his professional life, Peter was known for his dedication and expertise as a property manager for rental properties. His work was not just a job but a calling, as he took pride in creating homes for others. His commitment to his profession was matched only by his involvement in various associations, where he generously shared his knowledge and time.
Peter's heart was truly revealed in his personal passions. His love for God was unwavering, and he found solace and strength in reading the Bible. His spirituality was a guiding force in his life, providing comfort and purpose in all his endeavors.
A man of many talents, Peter had a passion for building things. His hands were skilled in the art of carpentry, and he crafted not just structures but memories that his family will treasure forever. His ability to repair books was self-taught, a testament to his determination and love for preserving knowledge. He meticulously replaced covers and repaired bindings, ensuring that the stories and wisdom within those pages could be passed down through generations.
Peter's legacy is carried on by his loving wife of 22 years, Sally (Kraft) Smircich, who stood by him through every chapter of their lives together. His children, Mercy and Ethan Smircich, will forever remember their father's gentle guidance and unwavering support. His grandchild, Micah, will grow up with stories of his grandfather's kindness and skill, learning from the example he set.
