Peter Paul Piccione

So sorry to hear this. All the Piccion's are in my thoughts and prayers. Love to you all.

Our hearts and prayers go out to the whole Piccione family.

Such sad news. Like so many others, Mr. Piccione was my first boss when I worked at the Varsity (and the Midnight shows) at age 15. Although I haven't seen Pete in many years, I learned quite a bit from him early on how to deal with all types of different people and crazy situations. I wish I would have had a chance to see and talk to him again before his passing.

My condolences to all of your family. Mr.Piccione was also my first boss for my first job, other than babysitting. I ate way too much candy and popcorn & then finally graduated to ticket sales. I lived down the street from him and Nancy and he graciously gave me a ride back and forth to work with him. A nice and generous man. Nancy and her family would most likely remember my family (the Price family) as she and her siblings probably be in grade school with some of them - Jim Price,...

Dear Nancy, Paul, Pete, Marguerite, and Maria,

Terrible news. For 30 years now I have been meaning to stop by and say hello when in STL, somehow I never made it. Working at the Varsity was a total blast. "Hugh, cover the front, I'll be at Blueberry." Pete was definitely a father figure to me, he truly cared about how I was and what I was doing in my life. I remember a time when I disappointed him, and he appeared to be crushed about it.

I have thought about him a lot over...

I am so very sorry for your loss.

I will always have fond and treasured memories of the Varsity Theatre and Pete. Pete had a gift for speaking with everyone with the same consideration and respect, whether they were "lost boy" teenagers, young women figuring out what they wanted to be when they grew up, grown men and women who had finally found a place they felt they belonged or business partners. We had conversations about movies, music...even local politics (not my strong suit...

I am so sorry to hear this. He was a very sweet man, was always friendly to all of us at RHPS.

Love the Piccione's. You all are in my Prayers.

As a teenager, I found an identity and group of people that defined the rest of my life at the Varsity Theater and our "father" of an extended family of so many lost kids was Pete. He gave us a safe place to be and was a kind man. I last saw him in 1997 when I was moving to Seattle. He brought lots of joy to so many and will always hold a special place in my heart. I know you are threading up some midnight movies right now.
