Born in Valparaiso, Indiana, Pivarnik served in the United States Army Air Force during World War II, as a radio operator and gunner on a B-17 Flying Fortress, and then attended Creighton University, and received his law degree from Valparaiso University School of Law in 1951.

He was the first justice to be appointed to the high court through a newly-established nonpolitical merit system. In 1988, Pavarnik accused then-Chief Justice of having abused alcohol and drugs and of "making improper advances toward men" earlier in Shepherd's career. He further questioned the thoroughness of the investigation conducted by the judicial nominating officials who vetted Shepherd. Pivarnik also aggressively pursued defamation lawsuits against people who accused him of corruption, winning a settlement in one such case in 1979. Pivarnik retired from the court due to a diagnosis of liver cancer. (en)
