Biagi Petrello

I remember my uncle Pete, as a young adult while serving in the army stationed at Fort Bliss, texas. Pete came to visit me at Fort Bliss, in full dress uniform. I was aware of uncle Pete's battle field commission while serving his country during WWII. Needless to say I was extremly proud of uncle Pete, as was the entire Petrello family. God bless you uncle Pete, for the man that you were, and for what you the lasting memories you left for all of us. Your nephew Charlie.

Col. Petrello,
Sir, I would just like to say thank you for your years of dedicated service and sacrifice for our Country when you served in the U.S. Army and USAR-especially during WW II and for being a member of the Greatest Generation. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

Even though Tim and I were only his God Children, we considered him our second dad. We lived next door to Pete and Mary Lou for about 9 years and then we and them moved to the west side together, Our house and Pete's had the same floor plan and builder. Our mother was by Mary Lou's side til the end. We both loved and respected Jo as a second mother. Pete shared his love for hunting with Tim. Pete gave wise direction to both of us. Pete will always be in our hearts. Both he and Jo helped us...

Our thoughts and prayers are with you. We had the privilege of visiting with Pete in April to honor his 50-year membership in the El Paso Five Points Lions Club. He was a genuinely caring gentleman, respected and admired by all who knew him.
