Not sure what to say?

Miss you Peter we had great times in Staples High school. Fun hunting and fishing.

I'm remembering you today Cousin. There is a family gathering at Kings Bluff today, and how I wish I would see you there as in years past. Thinking of you with love, Peter.

Hope the Fishing and Hunting is better up there My good buddy... I miss you. Noel

Cousin Peter really was a family man. Not only did he know and share the King family history, he also lived his love of family. Peter and Arlene attended family events, whether holiday parties at Kings Bluff in Colrain, wakes and burials, or Memorial Day ceremonies at West Branch Cemetery. Peter could be counted on, he showed up. He also kept this cousin aware of his family's events, with notes, occasional phone calls and the annual Christmas card; I will treasure the card from 2019 as well...

Uncle Peter had a lively spirit and love for life. He was an outdoorsman and good man to his children, and including my son. In the 5th grade, Aiden was assigned a project on his ancestry. Hence began our dive into the King and Dues history as shared by our own family historian. Uncle Peter was a kind soul and will be sorely missed.

We will always think of Peter as having a huge smile on his face. He enjoyed telling jokes and seemed to always be upbeat. He made us happy just to see him. He will be sorely missed.

Peter and Paul his twin brother and I attended Staples High School and UCONn togetrher. I lived across the street in Westport Connecticut. We hunted, fished, and we're always laughing at one escapade or another. Pete was a strong personality in school. He did it all from football to building his own boat at home. He was up to any challenges. I will miss him and loved him like his brother Paul. We pray Arlene and his family's grief is soon replaced by pleasant memories. Noel Castiglia...
