As an MSJ classmate who left town after graduation, I saw Pete over the years only at class reunions. In my mind he will always be the rugged, handsome, thoughtful high school football hero. Not a mean bone in his body. I am so sorry to see him go.

My deepest condolences to the entire Muscatello family. Pete was a lifelong friend and team mate.
From our days playing football at CKS and our years at MSJ, "Musky" was the backbone of all our teams. I am honored to have been one of his friends. Rest easy, my friend. You will be missed.

Sending condolences to the Muscatello family. Pete was a special classmate, always caring, respectful and bigger than life. At CKS we sat in alphabetical order so my desk was always diagonal to his throughout grade school. Even then, he would take charge, and I remember how he protected anyone who was picked on!! Our class of "62 is so special and Pete was a big part of that history. Whenever I saw him throughout the years, he always greeted me with the same joy, caring and well wishes...as if no time had passed. Such a special being and loved by so many. I know how much he loved his family and how you will miss him. Godspeed to the Light, Pete.

I am so very saddened to hear of the sudden passing of your dad. Your dad is a part of many great memories for my family...the hockey games, his candles and cork crafts, duck hunting and my best memory of having the honor of singing a duet with him at my sibling's weddings. His infectious smile and commanding presence will be greatly missed. May you find comfort in family and friends at this difficult time. God bless.

To the Muscatello Family,

It's always sad to lose a classmate, particularly when it's someone as nice as Pete.

He remained as friendly throughout life as he was back in the days of CKS and MSJ.

His beautiful singing voice was always a pleasure to hear.

May the happy memories of time spent with him help you through these difficult days.

My deepest sympathy in your loss of Peter. I have fond memories of spending tine with your family when were were growing up. My parents (Pat & Betty Cyr) used to go Rutland to visit with your parents and we all had fun playing together. Recently I would see Peter at Uncle Bobby's annual Fishing Derby in Chittenden.
