Peter L. Gerardi, 80, passed away peacefully at home on May 16, 2019. He was born in Stamford, CT on September 20, 1938 to the late Joseph and Gertrude (Lacerenza) Gerardi. Pete married the love of his life, the late Patricia (Trombetta) Gerardi on June 13, 1959.
Pete was predeceased by his parents, his wife, his brothers Gerald and Lucian Gerardi, and his sisters: Carmella Conetta, Katherine Palladino and Donna DeSalle. He was also predeceased by his in-laws: Richard Conetta, William Palladino, Pete Gasparino, Rita Gerardi, Joe and Josephine Trombetta, Rocco Vita, Mike and Theresa DeMasi, Nicholas Fusaro, Jerry and Rosalie Garfano and Phil Annunziata.

Pete was a jack-of-all-trades and owned many businesses throughout his lifetime, including Gerardi Brothers Autobody, Pepino's Restaurant, Ansonia Bottling, Little Luke's Hotdog Truck and Two G's Catering (with his cousin, Joe Gerardi).
Pete enjoyed celebrating the holidays with his family, golfing with the Good Times Golf League, holiday parties with the "party group", and coffee every morning with his good friends. Pete was also a proud member of the Knights of Columbus.
Pete was a generous man to his family, friends, and anyone else who knew him. His fun, loving spirit will be missed by all.

What a shock to hear of Pete's passing. Last time I saw his handsome face was at my Mom's wake in 2017 and got one of his great big bear hugs. I have so many great memories of when Pete and Lucien had the Auto Body shop. Rest in Peace my dear cousin.
