Peter Michael Finta, age 73, departed peacefully from this life on September 24 after a long illness. He was born in Warren, Ohio to parents Pete and Anna (Ogrean) Finta and was raised in Warren.

His employment history included working at Republic Steel, Warren Radio Electronics owned by his father and uncle, Radio TV parts, United Electronics, Electronics Limited, Phase II Electronics, and Time Warner Cable from where he retired in January of 2015.

Peter was an avid fan of the Cleveland Browns, Indians, and Cavs along with The Ohio State Buckeyes. He enjoyed golf and train watching. In his younger days, he enjoyed target practice. He loved our dogs, especially his best buddy Wallie.

He leaves behind his loving wife of 42 years, Cheryl ( Parillo ) Finta, son Sean Finta, sister Donna Tompkins, and several nieces, nephews, and cousins. He was preceded in death by his parents, grandparents, and several cousins, aunts and uncles.

Per Peter's wishes, a private funeral liturgy was held at Holy Resurrection Romanian Orthodox Church with a burial at Girard City Cemetery. Arrangements were entrusted to the Peter Rossi & Son Memorial Chapel of Warren.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made in his memory to the Hope Center for Cancer Care, 835 Southwestern Run, Youngstown, Ohio 44514.
