Peter John Sobuta, 83, of Old Forge, passed away Sunday, Nov. 26, 2023 in Allied Services Hospice, Scranton. His wife, Sylvia Ross Sobuta, preceded him in death on May 25, 2020.

Born in Old Forge on March 11, 1940 to the late Peter and Agnes Krawiecz Sobuta, he was known by many of his friends as "Cuz." Prior to his retirement, Peter worked for Mac-Tac for nearly 30 years. He was also a proud Penn State fan and loved his Philadelphia Eagles and Phillies. He was an avid fisherman in his free time, enjoyed his Friday night Old Forge football games, cherished his weekly breakfasts with his friends, but most of all, loved spending quality time with his family. Pete also proudly served his nation in the United States Army and was a longtime parishioner of St. Michael's Roman Catholic Church, Old Forge prior to its closure.

Peter will be greatly missed by his daughter, Lisa Sobuta, and her partner Jeff Luther; his grandchildren, Anthony Semyon, and Justin McDonald, and wife Erin McDonald; and many nieces and nephews.

The family wishes to thank Allied Services Hospice for the care and compassion given to Peter and his family during this time.

Peter was additionally preceded in death by brothers, Stanley Sobuta, Edward Sobuta, Sam Granko and Joseph Granko; and sisters, Josephine Potosky, Pearl Baron and Bertha Palahunich.
