Pete, I haven't seen you in years. I stopped by your old house a couple of times during the summer of 2002 when I moved back to Mass enroute to a two year career in AA ball. We still wrote eachother on occasion from the time I moved March of 1994 - 1997. You were one of my best friends growing up and I am truly saddened by such an untimely death to a very upstanding and successful young man. I haven't seen you since we were 10 years old, but the last time I saw you, you had that big childish smile on your face.
I guess I'll have to wait longer than sooner to finally see you again.

I had the pleasure of working with Pete at CVS in Chestnut Hill. I was shocked to hear about his death. My immediate thoughts after the shock were about happy memories. Pete and his rockstar drink. Pete putting 100% into what he did. Thoughts of Pete put a smile on my face. Pete impacted those around him and we are better people for having known him.

Pete, I remember so well working with you at CVS & thinking that you were such a wonderful kid & the world was so blessed to have you in it. Now, I believe that Heaven is a much happier place with you in it. You had a way of touching all of us around you. We knew, even way back then, that you were such a special person. We always hoped that you would come back to us at CVS in North Attleboro & make it your home. We loved you then & we love you now. Our thoughts are with you & your family. You will be greatly missed Pete. With love,

I had the privilege of working with Pete while he was on rotation with us at Stop and Shop Pharmacy. He was friendly, bright and outgoing. Pete was ambitious in all areas of his work and was headed for great things. Pete left us too early but his life and work ethics is an inspiration to us all.

To the Saitas/Dalton family: Our deepest condolences to you and your family.

Pete,

Although i have not seen you since we graduated i was still very sad when i heard about the news.

I will always remember you as a very kind person who always had a smile on your face.

I remember you not only because we were in High School together but we also were in CCD classes together.

May you rest in piece and may your family find the strengh to continue on this journey in life without you.

Heaven sure has gained another wonderful Angel.

Dear Carol, Chris, Ryan and Danny,

I am so sorry for your loss. We loved watching him grow up next door in the neighborhood; he was humorous and could always laugh, even at himself. And he achieved so much in his short time here.

We will miss him! May the passage of time ease your pain.

Do not stand at my grave and weep;

I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you awaken in the morning's hush I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.

I am the soft stars that shine at night.

Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.

We had the privilege to work with Pete during his internship and watched him blossom into a compassionate, skilled pharmacist filled with a tremendous zest for life and boundless energy. He was a close friend to many and a respected colleague to all. The entire team at Children's will miss him deeply.

"My old friend, this song's for you
Cause a few simple verses
Was the least I could do
To tell the world that you were here
Cause the love and the laughter
Will live long after
All of the sadness and the tears
We'll meet again, my old friend"

Pete will live on in all of our hearts and memories.
