Not sure what to say?

I just recently learned of Peter's passing. I'm so sorry for your loss. Peter and I played basketball together throughout Jr high and high school, culminating in the Valley Wheel championship in 1970! He was a great athlete. May he rest in peace.

Good memories of Peter and Joe "working" at the Court House for many years! Poor prisoners who gave them a bad time.

Kathy, Christina, Marissa so sorry for your loss. Peter was a great guy and I was fortunate to have him as a neighbor growing up. I always enjoyed talking with him(he always had a good story to tell). I remember when he gave me his baseball glove when I was 12. I still have it to this day in our garage and it will always remind me of him. May he rest in peace.

Dear Kathy sorry for your loss didn´t realize that Peter was such an accomplished sports person I would´ve loved to chat in regards to the Yankees. God bless Hope to see you in the spring walking around and then we can chat.

Peter was an amazing athlete, fun, genuine and overall fantastic classmate and person. I will always remember him from our agawam class of 70.

Kathy, Christina, Marissa and families sending my sympathies to all of you. I´m saddened to hear of your loss.

He was always on Highland Avenue at his Auntie Irene and Auntie Jennie´s. Or visiting Auntie Tess or my Dad. And fishing with his Dad, my Dad, Soapy, Michael, Uncle Nini and the rest of the guys. And always there for...

I was shocked to hear of Peter´s passing. My condolences to the family. May he rest in peace.

I have been a friend of Peter´s since first grade. We grew up in the North part of Agawam. We played at Dannahy School play ground in the summers went down High st hill in home made go carts built with all the wheels we took off baby carriages that were left outside. Went down High st hill on card board boxes till the street lights came on. Went and watched everyone´s games and cheered our friends on. Ate Balbonis bread on Sundays. The most important thing was the love we all had for each...

It has been a long time since I have been in contact with Peter and his family, over 40 years. Always known him as a loyal respected friend and a great athlete. I extend my deepest sympathy to his family.
