 Cesare “Che” Oreste Puglisi, 28, of Marietta, PA, went home to be with the Lord, and his dad on January 19, 2015, from injuries sustained in a motor vehicle accident.
 Born in New Brunswick, NJ, Che was the loving son of Deborah Bartol Puglisi and the late Andrew “Andy” J. Puglisi who passed away in 2009.
 Currently enrolled in the Diagnostic Medical Sonography program at Harrisburg Area Community College, Che was eagerly working towards his May 2015 graduation. In addtion to this, he was a vibrant part of the Coach Factory Store sales team at the Tanger Outlets, Hershey.
 Che has touched the lives of so many people in more ways than anyone could ever hope to capture in this life. To his friends he was a charismatic, genuine guy that loved a good craft beer, great conversation, and spending time living life with each other.
 To his gaming friends he was affectionately referred to as “Bagelboy”, the squad leader that chose character, dependability, and fun to be the founding principles of their team. But to his family, Che was the humor, the problem solver, and the heart. His ability to love so wholly and so passionately was felt by everyone who had the amazing opportunity to know him and spend even just a little bit of time with him.  
 We find peace and hope in God’s promise that we will be reunited in His perfect way and time.
 Surviving in addition to his mother, are two sisters: Christina L. (Benjamin) Peters, of Lancaster, and Maria V. Puglisi (#1 sister…really!), of Marietta; Aunt Betty Bartol, Marietta.
