Peter Soldato Obituary

Peter L. Soldato, Jr., 75, of Chicopee, Massachusetts, passed away peacefully on June 26, 2025 at Holyoke Hospital. Born and raised in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, he attended Pittsfield High School and Berkshire Community College. Peter had made his residence in Chicopee for many years.

Peter worked at Digital Equipment Corporation for 15 years. Later, he ran Entertainment Systems where he was a self-employed lighting, TV, and computer technician.

Peter will be remembered for his interest in technology, and looked forward to attending the lighting industry conference in Las Vegas every year. He was an avid collector of McIntosh audio equipment. He also enjoyed his automobiles and kept his car collection in pristine condition. Later in life, he developed a passion for gardening and was very proud of his flower gardens.

Peter leaves behind his cherished mother, Elaine Soldato, sisters Lisa and Nancy Soldato, his aunt Bernice Roy, along with cousins and friends. He was predeceased by his father, Peter L. Soldato, Sr.

A memorial service will be held to celebrate Peter's life on Saturday, July 12, from 2:30-3:30 at Grise Funeral Home 280 Springfield St., Chicopee, MA. In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to the Foundation for TJO Animals at https://www.tjofoundation.org.

Elaine, Nancy and Lisa,
Please accept my sincere condolences on the loss of Peter.
When Peter took his last breath here on earth, he opened his eyes in heaven and ran into the arms of our Lord and his father Peter Sr. was there to greet him.
Death leaves a heartache no one can heal,
Love leaves a memory no one can steal.
Love,
Claire Marchand
