Donald J. Pinchok Jr.'s Obituary
The spirit of Donald J. Pinchok Jr. left his earthly body on June 8, 2024 and returned to God who gave him life. He was 66 years old. He is survived by his high school sweetheart and wife of 47 years, Janet (Pacanowski), sons Joshua and Matthew (Amy), daughters Jaclyn Cutlip (Chad) and Emily and grandchildren Tyson, Luke, Claire, Callie and Camille. He is also survived by a sister Kim, a brother Leonard and many beloved nieces, nephews and extended family.
Mr. Pinchok, the son of the late Donald J. Pinchok Sr. and Ella (Tilletski) Pinchok, was born in Wilkes Barre, PA on August 22, 1957, grew up in Norristown, PA and raised his family in Lower Pottsgrove, PA. He worked for Fleming Foods, Met Life Insurance, Sun Oil Company and Buckeye Pipeline and recently retired to Delaware with his wife.
Don had a lifelong dedication to the care and well being of his family and instilled his strong work ethic in his children. He also put that work ethic and his passion for sports into helping to develop youth athletics in his Pottsgrove community. Don was the founding president and long time coach of the Pottsgrove Little League program. Prior to that he served as president of the Lower Pottsgrove Athletic Association coaching and officiating many baseball and basketball games.
Don enjoyed reading the Bible, reading and writing poetry, golfing, fishing and anything sports. But more than anything he enjoyed spending time with his family and friends. Don made every gathering more fun with his quick wit and sharp sarcasm. He loved to laugh and make others around him laugh too.
Don’s absence will leave a huge void in the lives of those who knew and loved him best, but his optimism, humor and love will be his legacy.
A memorial service will be held on Wednesday, June 19, 2024, at Limerick Garden of Memories at 11:00 a.m. with an informal family greeting to begin at 9:30 a.m.
