I met Pete on a warehouse job back around '69 and had some great times with him and his buddy 'Swan' (aka: Chucky-Chas.) He came to our wedding in '71 and drove us down to his Mom's place on 4th, where we had pizza and beer, then hitch-hiked back up to Bergen County next day.What a honeymoon, and what a great friend! Never forget ya, Pete...

Patty, no need for words, you know how I feel, just sorry I couldn't be there to send him off. Pete and I had a special connection from the time we met in Bradley Beach. The experiances we shared, starting in High School,continuing in the navy with our chance meeting in the Philippines, the apartment in West End and fifty years of friendship have left me with enough stories to write a book! We could finish each other's sentences. I'll miss him dearly. Swan

I knew Pete back when his family had the Ardmore Hotel in Ocean Grove. I was a waitress there for 4 summers. Later he worked with my ex-husband and I on our 1st lobster boat, the Gypsy Breeze. Always smiling, always joking, he used to call me "Darla" from the Little Rascals...he will be missed and I extend my condolences to all of his family and friends. Lynn Huff (formerly Lynn Garbarine)

Fast talking, laughing, fun, and funny. That is how I will remember Pete and see him in my minds eye. Last time I saw him(at Ralph,Rindy, and Micheles pool party) he told me how much he loved you Patty. I hope that knowledge helps you through this sad time. Barbara Anderson...or how Pete used to put it, "Brus'wife"

I'm shocked to hear of Pete demise,we were neighbors on 4th Ave during our all important high school years. We shared one of the best summers ever together 62'or 63' in Bradley,painting his parents house and ourselves.The boardwalk,the dances,and his old car I never had a better time.I'll miss the chance encounters of recient times and I hope they brought back as many good memories to him as they did for me.My sincerest condolences to the ones he loved.

I was saddened to receive word that Pete has passed away. I will miss him and the fun, laughs, and stories that he shared. My heart goes out to the Palm Ohana. He will never be forgotten. You cant tell a story about the early days in Bradley Beach without mentioning, including or remembering Peter. Love, Sharin
