Manuel Joseph Pineiro's Obituary
Manuel Joseph Pineiro entered the world in Newark, New Jersey. During his birth, he surprised his parents with a twin brother, Robert Pineiro. This was just the beginning of a wild ride to come. Throughout his adolescence, his father, Manuel Lucindo Pineiro, ignited his passion for music when he bought him a drum set for Christmas. Manuel thrashed that drum set to the head banging rhythms of Led Zeppelin, Rush, and Blue Oyster Cult. As he grew older, he rocked the world with his twin Robert, on bass. The two jammed, laughed, and stole the attention of thousands of groupies begging for one more tune. Later, he met his beautiful wife Donnamarie Cimino, along with her little fireball son, Vincent Lepore, whom Manuel would raise as his own son. Over the years of their marriage, Manuel and Donna had three more sons, Antonio, the chatterbox, Eric, the silent troublemaker, and Marcus, the jokester. In addition, Manuel had two loving dogs, GiGi (RIP) and Little Leia. Throughout his life, Manny was a joyous, free-spirited man, who also had a passion for cars and motorcycles. Manuel is predeceased by his father Manuel Lucindo Pineiro.
Manuel is survived by his wife Donnamarie Cimino, his children Vincent Lepore and wife Natalia, Antonio Pineiro, Eric Pineiro, and Marcus Pineiro, his mother Anna Maria Pineiro, his siblings John Pineiro and wife Dorothy, sister Danna Salib, his twin Robert Pineiro and wife Cindy, Sara Cimino, and Pino Cimino. Loving nephews and nieces include, Susan (RIP), Ted, John Jr, Tracy, Ryan, Jennie, Sioban, Ralph, Diana, Nicole, Beto, Jaqueline, Sandy, Daniel, Marissa, Robbie, Sophia, Joey, Carrie, Eva, Jeff, Melissa, Chris, Jonathan and Lena, along with many loving cousins, friends and extended family. Manuel, also known as Manny, enjoyed his life in New Jersey and in Florida. In Manny's own words, "It's been a good ride."
