Obituary of Salvatore A. Pelliccio

  Salvatore A. Pelliccio passed away peacefully on October 9th, 2024, surrounded by his loving family. Sal lived a long and wonderful life worthy of celebration. He was born on July 10, 1930 in Mt. Vernon, NY to Elisa and Dominick Pelliccio, and was predeceased by his sisters Mae, Mary, Theresa, Roseann, and his brothers John, Pasquale, and Anthony. 

At age 16, Sal met Maria Landino, the love of his life and his future wife. Their first date at a Valentine’s Day dance spun into a lifelong romance. They were married on May 20th, 1951, and shared 73 extraordinary years together.

Following his graduation from Edison High School, Sal enlisted and served 3 years as Airman Second Class for the United States Air Force. Upon his service completion Sal became a carpenter and joined The United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America, Local Union 493. Always a hard worker, Sal furthered his education at Mechanics Institute’s School of Architectural Design and AFL-CIO’s School of Labor Relations. He held many positions throughout his career including Business Representative for his local union and Delegate to the District Council. Sal further advanced his service to the Brotherhood as the Executive Secretary -Treasurer and Business Manager for the Westchester County District Council of Carpenters. Ultimately, he reached the pinnacle of his career when elected as member of the Executive Board for the First District on the national level, which he served until his retirement.

Sal was truly a renaissance man who enjoyed athletic and creative pursuits.  From boxing and golfing, playing trumpet in the Air Force band to dancing to the music of his favorite big bands, Sal could light up a room! His skill and artistry was further displayed by his life-like decoy and wild bird wood carvings.

Sal’s true pride and joy was his family. Together with Maria in Armonk NY, they created life-long memories and family traditions. Sal and Maria raised two lovely daughters, Lorna Yvon (Patrice) and Sally Voss (Christian). In addition to his wife and daughters Sal is survived by four grandsons who were the pride and joy of his life: Tyler, Charles, Cameron (Marion), and Harrison.
