Papa, I miss you and I love you. I know you are watching over me during these hard times. I will see you again someday.

Just today I saw something online with the same last name as Pete and I immediately thought of him. I didn't know him well as I met him when he was installing HVAC in some new construction over 10 years ago and only saw him a few times after. I decided to look him up and sadly I see this. He was such a funny and fun man and only with a smile, not the suspicious look you see so much these days. Some people are hard to figure but Pete easily revealed himself to me as a nice friendly and helpful man. The photo posted of him is exactly how I remember him that short period over a decade ago. I know it may be late but I must give my condolences to his family. Someone like Pete must be so sorely missed, even after several years. I only wish I got to know him better.

We will surely miss Pete. His smile & laughter were infectious! Always enjoyed our banters over pizza & beer. He was always there to lend us a helping hand. May he now be in God's loving embrace and may God's love & comfort be with all of you.

To the entire Damiano Family
I remember Peter so well. As a child I lived on Eagle Street just a few doors down from the Damiano family. I remember Mary and Jimmy so well and especially her amazing kitchen and the cakes that she made for everyone's birthdays and graduations. I am the niece of Lee Sciotti and the daughter of Norman Leone. I am so sorry for your loss. I always said that God takes the good ones first. The hardest part of dying is the ones left behind. Keep your memories close, cry when you want and talk of him often. Again, my sympathy and prayers are with you always
