Pete Diana, who photographed three of the Steelers’ six Super Bowl victories and three of the Penguins’ five Stanley Cup victories for the Pittsburgh Press and Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, passed away Thursday morning (Oct. 20) in Presbyterian Hospital. He was 64.
“Pete brought photos to life and captured many of the biggest moments in Penguins history,” said former Penguins great Mario Lemieux, whose book, “Mario Lemieux: The Final Period,” was illustrated with Mr. Diana’s photographs. “But, as great a photographer as he was, he was an even better person. He was such a fixture in Pittsburgh sports for so many years. He will be missed.”
