My name is Phylliss and I was Pete's next door neighbor at Stony Creek. I've only been here a year and a half, but Pete and I became good friends. He was a wonderful neighbor to me and we would often meet in the hallway and talk. He was so helpful when I moved in. Pete would always compliment me on the hats I wore to Church and my clothes. I will truly miss Pete and our serious and joking conversations. He would often talk about his children, grandchildren and daughter-in-law. He loved you all so deeply! Please accept my condolences and prayers. Pete, I shall miss you terribly. We all loved you, but God loved you best. Pete's friend and neighbor:

Sorry to hear of your loss. We were neighbors when I was a kid and Pete always took my sister and I to ball games, concerts and even a camping trip. He will always have a place in my heart. With deepest sympathy.

Pete always greeted me with a smile and would speak of his sons and grandchildren with much pride. I would see him in Wegmans and he'd always ask about my family and would tell me to enjoy my "little one". He was usually talking about how he was going to make some sauce for his boys and grandkids. He was always quick with a smile when we talked of our families. My condolences and prayers are with you at this difficult time.

Please except my deepest sympathies for the loss of such a wonderful man. Mr. C. was truly a blessing. I was very lucky to have known such a wonderful and caring man. I only wish I could've seen him one more time. Tony and Joey, you both were wonderful sons to Peter and you could see how happy and proud he was, of both of you. He was a very lucky man to have such a wonderful family, through and through.

I too was shocked to hear the news of Pete's passing. He was like a second father to me and helped me though a lot of turmoil during my teenage years. He was always there to lend an ear and give me good advice. He was a great man, a hard worker and a loving grandfather. When ever I saw him he would never miss an opportunity to show off new pictures of his grandkids. He was also very proud of his sons. I will miss him terribly.
