I was shocked to read about Peter Pastore's passing. Mr. Pastore hired me in 2001 as the escrow coordinator at Randolph Savings Bank. A wonderful person, I thank him for giving me the opportunity to transfer to the lending dept in 2001. My condolences to the family.

I recently had a meeting with some Hendricken alumni's and was told of the passing of Peter. It was shocking news. Peter was polite, soft spoken, and a true gentlemen. I remember him playing on the football team.

Louise,
As I read the entries it became apparent that people who knew Peter better than I confirmed my impression of him as a true gentleman and civic-minded man, who placed his family as his first priority. I always enjoyed his company when we met up, briefly as we did. Although we were shocked to hear of your family's loss, I am confident you and your children will remain inspired by the life he led as a family man and gentleman-citizen.

While i was looking for a relative with the same name, i came across this Pete Pastore. While I did not know him, I pray that the mercy that we all know comes from Christ and the confort his mother also gives will help your family through this.

A year has past since Peter's passing but I will always remember him fondly.
I was standing in a long line again on Sunday for the 16 year old son of a friend and remembered the long line at Peter's wake. He had many friends and family that thought the world of him. Today, at the funeral Mass, I remembered Peter's beautiful Mass and eulogy.
Louise, I hope that you and your children are doing well and that the pain of losing your husband is easing.
Love, Janet

Peter Pastore and I raised and lowered the flag every day in the seventh grade at St. Paul's School in Edgewood, RI.
Even then, we would talk politics daily. We attended political rallies together in 1972. He wound up a as a Democrat, and I a Republican, but I followed him over the years from my home in Virginia and I spoke with him a few years ago when he was a Councilman.
This is such sad news. He was an articulate, effective and caring person in his youth and as an adult.
My thoughts go to his family; especially to his children.
God bless.

Dear Louise and Children,
Although I didn't know Peter very well, what I did admire most was the fact that his priorities were in the right order. Family first, everything else, second. It was from his priorities that I set mine.
He will be missed by all who knew him. You and your children, although very saddened by your loss, should be very proud of Peter and all who he has helped.
Our paryers and thoughts remain with you and your family.

Louise and children,
My heart goes out to you and your children for your loss. In my years covering city politics, Peter was one of the few politicians I have known who truly distinguished himself as a gentleman and an impeccable source of information. I was also impressed by how much he adored his family. He always spoke so fondly of you. This is a sad day for the entire city...

Dear Louise and Family:
Words can never express the true but helpless feelings friends and acquaintances alike feel at a time when people lose a loved one. We wish we could be more articulate, more helpful, but we know you must have many happy memories to cherish because Peter was such a gentleman, a wonderful husband, father, son and a true professional. He will always be with you. Elaine and Vin

To the Pastore Family:
Please accept my heartfelt sympathy on the loss of Peter. I attended his funeral mass this morning and was in awe of the dignity and reverence that was shown by you, his family at this most difficult time. It is truly a reflection on what a good man he was.
Peter and I went to Saint Paul's together, many times walking home to Washington Park. The very first thing I remember about Peter is that he was always, always a gentleman.
Be assured of my continued prayers.

To the Pastore family,
I just now heard about Peter and am completely stunned. I had the honor of working with Peter in the political arena and always had enormous respect and admiration for him both as a public servant and as a person. Some people are taken and leave very little behind, but Peter left a true legacy behind to not only those close to him, but to so many that never even had the priviledge to meet him.
God bless you all.

Please accept my deepest sympathies.I am stunned as you all by his untimely passing, I meet Peter back in the late 70's we worked at Thom McAnn Shoes he being more experienced took me under his wing he was tireless in his willingness to help others. As time passed we drifted apart as people do, but of late I had the pleasure of seeing him again and it was like we had been in contact for the past 30 years.In typical fashion he was more interstead in how I was doing and if I was happy in my life. I will miss him. May god bless you all.

We know that you have a great support system but if there is anything that we can do for you please do not hesitate to call.
God Bless,

Dear Louise:
We are completely stunned by this news about Peter, and we cannot get over it.
Since I read the news this morning I have been thinking about him, you and your family all day today.
Peter was such a good family man. He placed his family above all things; yet he was also willing to be in the public square, and he was a good public servant.
The whole community loses at his death, and what an untimely one it is. We are greatly saddened by it.
I know that you all are shattered by this news. I am praying that God grants His wonderful grace to you and your young children, as well as to Peter's parents, at this difficult time.
Sincerely, Chuck Nevola

I can't imagine the pain you must be experiencing. Emilia, please try to take comfort in the certainty that your son is in heaven and will continue to watch over and care for his family from above.
My prayers are with all of you.
