Herold E. “Babe” Peceu's Obituary
SOUTH GLENS FALLS – Harold Evans "Babe" Peceu Jr., 66, passed away Saturday, March 5, 2016 at Glens Falls Hospital.
Born in Glens Falls on June 4, 1949, he was the son of the late Harold and Genevieve (Bumbard) Peceu Sr.
Babe attended St. Alphonsus before attending and graduating from Glens Falls High School.
He later served the U.S. Army until he was honorably discharged in June of 1975.
For 30 years Babe was working construction as a roofer for Scarincios Roofing located in Glens Falls. It was a job he enjoyed doing.

Campfires were his favorite part whether it was raining, cold or in the summer heat the times he spent with friends out under the stars will be cherished always. Babe also spent time hunting and fishing and was a big NASCAR fan, whose favorite driver was none other than Dale Earnhardt Jr.
