Richard Frank Pisani Sr., 79, passed away on Wednesday, November 27, 2024, in Statesville, N.C. He was born on July 4, 1945, in Orange County, N.Y., to the late Frank J. Pisani and Nancy Chivattoni Pisani.

He is survived by his wife of 23 years, Sandy Pisani of Statesville; sons, Ricky Pisani (Lisa) of Newburgh, N.Y., Michael Pisani (Jerrilyn) of Mebane, N.C., Damon Antalek (Cassie) of Boston Lake, N.Y., and Jeremy Antalek of Troutman, N.C.; grandchildren, Derek Pisani and Nick Pisani of Newburgh, N.Y., Emily Pisani, Tyler and Zackary Pisani of Mebane, N.C., Dean Antalek of Boston Lake, N.Y., and Fiona Antalek of Troutman, N.C.; and sister, Dorothy Brophy (Robert) of Newburgh, N.Y.

Richard was of the Catholic faith, a veteran of the U.S. Air Force, and eventually retired from the West Point Mint in New York. While one thing he loved to do was to go camping, most of all he loved his kids and grandkids, and his dogs, especially Hershey.
