Among his family and friends, Peter was known for his love of NASCAR, Dale Earnhardt Sr. and Dale Earnhardt Jr., fishing and the Buffalo Bills football team. He also loved watching “NCIS” and “Magnum, P.I.” and often, with his granddaughter Sarah sitting beside him, watching “The Steve Harvey Show.” Peter was formerly married to Karen Jankowski, the mother of his two daughters, Jennifer and Christina, who live to cherish his memory, and one son, Peter Raymond Jankowski, all of Donora. He is also survided by grandchildren, Nathan, Trey, Gavin, Sheylynn, Sarah and Aubray; a brother, Steven (Laura) Jankowski of Cheektowaga, N.Y.; and sister, Patricia Paszko of Depew, N.Y. Visitation will be held from 2 to 4 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 22, 2021, with a service to follow at 4 p.m. in the chapel of HOUSE OF JACKSON MEMORIAL CHAPEL, 546 Thompson Ave., Donora.
