He was born on August 21,1952 in Oceanside, NY to the late Edward Peter Pinna and Mary (Roddin) Pinna. He is survived by his siblings, Mary Anne (James DeLong), Eileen (Mino Baldassarre), Joan (the late Gary Scheetz), Robert (Kathy Wells), and many cousins, nephews and nieces. He had many dedicated friends who loved him dearly, including Heidi, Gary, Jeff, Claude, and Kristen.
In his early adult years, Edward worked in the electronic field. He then studied theology and philosophy, and holds a BA from Stony Brook University, New York. He had a great love of music and was a band member in younger years and enjoyed playing guitar and piano his whole adult life. He was a lifelong Long Islander.
Edward's devout Catholic faith and his love of family were of utmost importance to him. Edward was a charitable man of integrity with noteworthy compassion for others and will be greatly missed. Edward was extraordinary. He is now free and at peace in the arms of our Heavenly Father, along with his worldly father and mother.
There will be a private graveside service at St Charles Cemetery, Farmingdale, NY. His family is requesting that you honor Edward in your own way, in your own town, in your own time.
