On Monday July 17th, 2023 Sydney Allan Piraino passed away in Spokane Valley, Washington at the age of 69.  Born on April 20TH, 1954 in Lewiston, Idaho to Bassallio and Shirley Piraino, he went on to marry the love of his life Christine Piraino on June 25TH, 1977 in Pullman, Washington.

Syd was a hard-working and dedicated grocery clerk at Rosauers Super Market for over 42 years.  Besides his children, his pride and joy was tending to his bountiful garden and keeping his yard in immaculate shape.  He was an avid sports fan, loyal to the Washington State University Cougars, the Seattle Mariners, and the Seattle Seahawks.  If he could be anywhere in the world, he would prefer to be on the water fishing or water skiing with his family.

Syd is survived by Christine Piraino, his sister Mary Lohman, several cousins, his nephews Mark Boleware and Christopher Piraino, and his daughters: Kathryn Piraino, Diana Cassidy (Jeremy Cassidy), and Janelle Nguyen (Dien Nguyen).  He also leaves behind six grandchildren:  Alexis Johnson, Simeon Cassidy, Joseph Cassidy, Dominic Cassidy, Anastasia Cassidy, and John Paul Cassidy.

In lieu of flowers and gifts, please consider a donation to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Syd's name.
