Fortified with the Sacraments of Holy Mother Church, on Friday, October 1, 2021. Beloved husband of Doryle Maniscalco (nee Long); dear father of Peter (Bree) Maniscalco, and Bridgette (Terry) Geraghty; loving grandfather of Alyssa (Kyle), Sophie, Sabrina, Daisy, and his 3 step-granddaughters; dear brother of Frances (the late Joseph) Piazza; our dear uncle, cousin and friend.
Pete spent over 30 years delivering mail out of the Gravois postal branch where he made life long friends.
He also served as a proud member of the St. Louis Oddfellows Lodge Number 5 and the Local NALC Union Branch 343.
Always the entertainer, Pete and Doryle loved throwing parties where he would often take requests playing the piano. His talent, charm and ability to tell a good joke drew others to him.
Retired now for more than 20 years, he loved to travel with family and friends, continued to enjoy playing the piano, often writing his own music, and of course still loved hearing and telling a good joke.
Above all else, Pete loved spending time with his grandkids, sharing stories, singing songs and giving advice through his various “Pop” quotes.
His smile and laughter were infectious and will remain in our hearts and songs forever.
“And in the end, the love you take, is equal to the love you make.”
Services: Memorial visitation will be held at Kutis Affton Chapel, 10151 Gravois, Friday, October 8, 4-8 p.m. A Memorial Mass will be celebrated at St. Elizabeth of Hungary Catholic Church on Saturday, October 9, 10 a.m. Interment Mt. Olive Cemetery.
What a guy! He was loved by many and will be missed by all who knew him.

I am sorry to learn of Pete’s passing. The Maniscalco family home was two doors to the east of the home where I grew up. Pete, other kids in the neighborhood and I would hang out at Buder School playground. I recall that Pete played the piano well. My sincere sympathy to his wife, Doryle, and all of his family and friends. Rest in peace, Pete.

Pete’s piano playing is something we will always remember, it was outstanding, along with all the parties @ the Maniscalco home, what fun we had!
We took numerous trips with Pete & Doryle & every time, we had the time of our lives. We, along with so many others, will miss him tremendously.
With deepest sympathy, the John Vogt family.

Dear Bridgette,
We were so sorry to hear of your fathers passing. You and your entire family will be in our thoughts and prayers.
As a daughter who was very close to her father I know that when you lose your dad that you also lose a good friend. I hope that a lifetime of warm and loving memories will help ease your sadness.
