Dr. Arthur Anthony Pecoraro, Jr.

Dr. Arthur Anthony Pecoraro, Jr., age 75, of North Plainfield, passed away on March 10, 2023 in his home from natural causes. Arthur, also known as Art, Artie boy and little Artie, was born in 1948 in Newark, NJ. He graduated from Temple University and received his Doctorate in Chiropractic from New York Chiropractic College in 1975 alongside his life-long best friend Thomas D'Elia. He practiced Chiropractic lovingly for 42 years until he retired in 2017. He married his wife, Angela Pecoraro, in 1973. They would have been married 50 years this August. He was a faithful and devout man and absolutely loved being a husband, father and grandfather. He is survived by his beloved wife, Angela Pecoraro, three children and their spouses Anthony (Janice) Pecoraro, Christine (Ryan) Wolfram, Carolyn (Paul) Tomasello and twelve grandchildren: Leo, Joey, RJ, Rocco, Eva, Danny, Eli, Lucy, Natalia, Juliana, Romeo and Sebastian. Arthur also leaves behind his three brothers Ernie, Michael, Joseph and two sisters Patricia and Denise.

Arthur loved to talk about his faith and share it with others because he genuinely cared about helping people. The way he cared for his patients and anyone who was in need or in pain was a testament to his good-hearted soul. He never hesitated to make a house call, wake up in the middle of the night or anything else he could do to help someone. He truly loved being a Chiropractor and his love for God shined through in his love for people and for his family.
