Obituary

Craig (Pops) Pentello age 75 of Columbus, Ohio passed away March 20, 2026. He retired from his company C.M. Pentello & Associates in 2014. He graduated from West High School class of 1968. He then attended The Ohio State University graduating class of 1973. He is preceded in death by his parents, Phil and Betty Pentello; sister and brother-in-law, Penny (Larry) Cline. Craig is survived by his loving wife of 54 years, Sandy; son and daughter-in-law, Andy (Kelly) Pentello; daughter and son-in-law, Kristi (Mike) Colapietro; and son and daughter-in-law, Rocky (Nikki) Pentello. He is also survived by grandsons, Kaleb, Kayden, and Kam Schaffer, Rocco, Lucca and Bodhi Pentello, Dominic Colapietro; and granddaughter, Danielle Colapietro; uncles, Ralph (Georgeanna) and Fred Pentello; sisters-in-law, Sue Edwards and Sally Curry; numerous nieces, nephews and cousins; and the grand-dogs, Thor, Brady, and Tank. In his younger days, Craig liked to fish and hunt with his dad and the Brinker Ave Boys. Craig was an avid Buckeye, Blue Jackets, Browns, and Guardians fan, but his favorite thing to do was watch his children and grandchildren play sports, either on the field or on the court. Craig will be greatly missed by his family and friends. From the beginning- always and forever. There will be a visitation on Tuesday, March 24, 2026 at the John Quint Treboni Funeral Home, 1177 W 5th Ave Columbus, Ohio 43212 from 4-7 pm and a Celebration of Life Service the next day Wednesday at 1 pm with a procession to Sunset Cemetery at 2:15 pm.

We were so saddened to hear of Craig's passing. He was a fine man, a caring father and husband who will be missed. I remember fondly our discussions on Buckeye football and family get togethers around the holidays. He will be greatly missed by many. May God bless!

My deepest condolences to the Pentello family. Craig was my second father as I treated him as such and he treated me as his third son. I can remember walking next door when the Pentellos moved next door and asking Sandy if there was any kids I could play with. From that moment on my nascent relationship bloomed into a life long relationship with a great man whom I revered. He gave me sage advice growing up and I will always love him.

Never knew Craig very well on a personal level but always enjoyed his company at the courthouse. I was sad to hear of his passing and I offer my deepest condolences to Sandy and the rest of Craig's family.
