To the Del Grosso family,

I did met Peter at the funeral of my uncle Vittorino Del Grosso in June of 1998.Peter a true Del Grosso:a strong ironman;like the metal that we DEL Grosso have artistically worked with for over 250 years,in Roseto Valfortore first and then in North America.I am Domenico the son of Mikele Del Grosso,Vittorino's older brother.My father as a young black smith apprendist,was often send, by his father,to help Peter's father...

To the DelGrosso family,
So sorry and saddened by recent developments. Cousin Pete, as we knew him, was kind, warm, wise, and a rock of the DelGrosso family. I will always recall his kind and encouraging words at a difficult time when he simply stated, "You're a DelGrosso." Also I will treasure a photo taken at my father's funeral which was taken of Pete, myself and my son, Peter. My thoughts go out to all.

Elinor and Family,
You and your family are in our prayers. we were so saddened to hear of your loss. You have our deepest sympathies. Pete and our families go way back. I'll never forget the time Pete came to my rescue at a crab feast when this city boy got too close to the crabs waiting to be cooked. On my finger it latched and I couldn't shake it off. What a shock for me and thanks to your honey, he saved me from being devoured by the monster Blue Crab.
All Our Love,

Aunt Elna, Paula & Brian you were blessed to have such a wonderful loving husband and father. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. Uncle Pete you were like a second father to me and will be dearly missed. My heart is filled with sadness. I will always treasure the memories I have had with you and the family.

Our thoughts & prayers go out to the family. Aunt Elna and Uncle Pete were a huge part of my husband's upbringing...and a pleasure for me as well. I wish we were closer to wrap our arms around you guys. Paula & Marty, our deepest sympathies. We wish you strength and hope you seek comfort in the glow of so many warm memories.

Brian,

My prayers are with you and your family during this time.

Brian,
My thoughts remain with you and your family, especially this week. You have my deepest sympathies.

Such an abbondanza of love and generosity. Uncle Pete was the epitome of a great Italian 'Godfather' - unconditionally there for us no matter what, with open heart and open doors. I'm so glad we had so many years to accumulate so many wonderful memories.

Paula- My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this time
