Pedro A. Molina

Pedro Molina, age 92 passed away on February 3, 2024, at Bridgeport Hospital in Bridgeport, CT. Born on October 18, 1931, in San Sebastian, Puerto Rico, Pedro led a remarkable life filled with love and cherished moments.

Pedro moved to the United States Mainland initially to New York City, but soon after relocated to the Bridgeport area.  He found employment at the Nancy Lynn Bakery in the late 1960s and early 1970s. He dedicated himself to his work and became an indispensable part of the bakery's staff creating lasting friendships and memories. When the bakery sadly closed its doors, Pedro began his employment at Bridgeport Hospital, where he continued to work until his retirement.

Pedro's proudest achievements were his four beautiful daughters. He held immense love for each of them and was always there to support them throughout their lives. His devotion and commitment as a father were unparalleled, leaving a lasting impact on their lives.

Pedro had an infectious personality that brought joy to everyone around him. With a heart full of laughter and a playful spirit, he had a knack for making others smile. He possessed an unwavering sense of humor and could always be counted on for a good joke or amusing story. Pedro's presence brightened any room he entered, and his positive energy left lasting impressions on all who crossed his path.

In his free time, Pedro found solace in tinkering around the house and going out to the garage. He enjoyed using his hands to fix things and add small touches that made their house feel like home. Sports were also close to Pedro's heart, particularly being a devoted fan of the New York Mets. He would sit back and cheer on his favorite team whenever they played on TV.

One of Pedro's dreams was to return to Puerto Rico. The thought of visiting his homeland and reminiscing about his younger years brought him immense joy. With music always playing in the background, he would lose himself in the melodies, transporting himself back to cherished memories from his homeland.

Pedro's life will forever be cherished by his loving family and countless friends. He is survived by his devoted wife, Ana A. Molina of Bridgeport. Pedro leaves behind his daughters Miriam Alvarado (Ron Grimes), Iris N. Molina, Minerva Pepperman, and Milagros Taylor. Special mention to Angel Muniz, as Pedro loved him as the son he never had. They shared their political views, family stories, and their love of Puerto Rico. All of whom carry his legacy of love and strength forward.

The impact Pedro had on future generations can be seen through his nine adoring grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. His wisdom, humor, and unconditional love shaped their lives in profound ways. Pedro will also be dearly missed by a host of nieces, nephews, relatives, and friends whose lives he touched with kindness and empathy.

A visitation will take place on February 6, 2024, from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM at Funeraria Luz De Paz located at 426 E. Washington Ave., Bridgeport, CT 06608. Family and friends are invited to come together to honor Pedro's memory during this time of reflection.

Following the visitation, a burial service will be held at Lakeview Cemetery at 885 Boston Ave, Bridgeport, CT 06610 from 12:30 PM to 1:00 PM. It will serve as a final goodbye to a remarkable man who touched the lives of many.

Pedro Molina touched the lives of so many and will forever hold a special place in our hearts. May his soul find eternal peace, and may we celebrate the joy he brought into our lives.
