PETER MICHAEL PEMBROOKE
Of Upper St. Clair went to be with the Lord on Tuesday, March 10. He was born in Braddock, PA on November 12, 1951, he was 68 years old. Peter was preceded in death by his father, Peter F. Pembrooke and his mother, Catherine Pembrooke (Milo). He is survived by his wife, Donna Pembrooke and his two brothers, Robert Pembrooke (Donna) of Plum and Jeffrey Pembrooke (Diane) of Level Green, his three children, Peter R. Pembrooke (Katie) of Lorton, VA, Laura Pembrooke of Pittsburgh and Stephen Pembrooke (Caroline) of Davidsonville, MD and three nephews and five grandchildren. He graduated from Turtle Creek High school in 1969 and graduated from the Naval Academy in 1974, with a Bachelor of Science and was a trained military pilot. He worked at the Pentagon and went on to receive his MBA from Robert Morris University in Pittsburgh where he worked for Westinghouse, Alion, and retired from Life Cycle Engineering in 2013. He was as a marine engineer and was an expert in propulsion systems for military carriers and submarines. He was devoted to his family and his firm belief in God. He was an avid sportsman, hunter and history buff. He loved golfing, fishing, running, and was one of the smartest men we ever knew. This was evident if you ever watch Jeopardy with him. Once retired, he went to breakfast almost every morning and swam every day. He will be deeply missed by his family. He was a consummate storyteller, loved to laugh, sing, and play guitar. He loved family dinners and loved Donna's cooking, as most everyone does. Funeral arrangements by BEINHAUERS.
