Memories and Condolences
for Peter Quinto
May 24, 2011
Very shocked to hear of the untimely passing of Peter, whom I remember well from the College of Staten Island. He was a very kind soul whose ready sense of humor accompanied a sharp mind and an unfailing sense of decency. Technical matters, no matte how difficult, never got the better of him. He carried his considerable expertise with great humility. He also had a way of putting at ease those who were in his company -- that was his charisma at work. My condolences to his family, especially to his sisters MaryAnn and Nancy, whom I also knew from the College. Peter's good spirit will be very much missed. -Lucien124

Peter was my sister-in-law Nancy’s brother. We all enjoyed good times on many joyous occasions at Rob and Nancy’s house. I knew Peter over the years as Pat and Frank’s beloved son, Nancy and Maryann’s dear brother, Janet’s loving husband, and Frankie’s doting dad. Peter was a good man. May he rest in peace with the Lord. Condolences to the Quinto family, from Mary and the Astarita family.

Janet,
My condolences to you and your family for such a great loss. Peter always kept us laughing at STI and had such a wonderful spirit.

My heartfelt condolences to Janet, his son Frank, his Mom and his sisters. I worked with PQ at AT&T and was his office-mate for 15 years. He was a good friend, always cracking jokes and ready to help you. In his youth, he enjoyed a good party! As a developer for a product at AT&T and then Lucent, he would say "TDL, What's that smell?" He hated testing his software back then. He helped me through personal problems and the death of family members. He was a wonderful friend and will be missed! Sue Moyer (Broadalbin, NY)

My sincerest condolences to Janet, Frank, and Patricia. I new Peter at Sensor Technologies, was the first to meet him at STI, and was the first to work with him. I later worked with him on many projects and found him to be a joy to work with. He was a friend to everyone, and was willing to help everyone he met. He will be sorely missed...
