To the Petrera Family,
My deepest condolences to the family. Mr Petrera was my guidence conselor for 4 years (West Babylon class of 86). He was a wonderful man. Always made the time to sit and talk to you ,never rushed you out of his office and would not let you leave until the issue was resolved and everyone was happy again .
We shared a few things in common and he enjoyed the fact he could speak Italian with me and we would have all our conversations in Italian.

Dear Petrera family,
I'm very sorry for your loss!! Mr. Patrera was my guidance counselor back in 1993. He was a great man and a true friend! I use to go see him just to chat because we shared the same interest " Hunting". We use to exchange pictures of our years harvest!! I remember he had a hunting picture of him and his Son, hanging in his office which he so proudly displayed. My deepest sympathy to you and may god bless you all!!!

Tony and family. We're thinking about you and your family. Smile when you think of all the happy memories.

Dear Petrera Family, I don't know where to begin. Your father was the best man ever, He was my Guidance Counselor back in 1977 and 1978. He would always have the time to sit and chat with us. Many years later I met up with him at the bank in massapequa where I was working, and it was like we were back in West Babylon High all over again. He will truly be missed. My prayers are with all of you.

rest in peace mr p., you wer my teacher in 1968, in the west babylon high school, and remembered your clothing store in massapequa....its been many years, but a good man like you will be missed, rest in peace....joe almeraris...

Dear Petrera Family,
Matteo was a wonderful friend and mentor to me. Even though I was just a student, he always had time to sit and talk to me. Years after I graduated WB, I would stop by to say Hi and he always took time to talk to me in between helping his students. He spoke of his children proudly and with Love. He will be missed greatly. You are all in our prayers.
WB Class of '80

Sincere condolences & prayers to your whole family. Dad's are very special people. I know he will be missed very much.
God bless you,
