Pete was born to Salvatore and Ruth (Glasier) Muscarella of Farnham , NY. Pete and his wife lived in his childhood home in Farnham, NY until his death. Pete began a career at the South Buffalo Railway on June 22, 1970 until he was drafted to the Army in April of 1972 and served his country until December of 1977.  He returned to work for South Buffalo Railway in 1975 until he was laid off in 1983 when Bethlehem’s Blast Furnace shut down for two years. During that time he worked for Delaware and Hudson Railway and worked in construction until he returned to SBR in 1988.  In 2001 SBR was acquired by Genesee and Wyoming Railroad where he retired as a welder on April 30, 2012.  His best highlight was being a part of the safety record that the NY/RA Region has accomplished, a career Injury Free in the Railroad Industry.  Pete’s hobbies included hunting and fishing. He also loved to cook, his signature dish was tripe, “with sauce not gravy, because I’m Sicilian”.
