Louis A. Pellegrino Jr.

Louis A. Pellegrino Jr., 70, of Onondaga Hill, passed away unexpectedly on Wednesday, January 24, 2018 at home. Born in Dobbs Ferry, he grew up in White Plains. Louis graduated with a teaching degree from Oswego State University and was employed with the West Genesee Central School District as an Industrial Arts teacher for 13 years.
