Dear Kay, Pete, Vera and Family,
My heart goes out to each of you as I know how much Pete Sr. meant to the Janus Family and their friends. He and Kay were so generous when they took me into their home and made me part of the family. I will always remember his humor, his kindness, his cooking :) and his passion for life. He was loved by many and will be missed by all.

With affection,
Melissa Miracle-Mocogni

Kaye, Verra & family, PJ & family;
I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. Wonderful memories come back to me of the days when we lived on Oriole Ave, ate at th restaurant, horsed around in the swimming pool, shared your "little house" on Beaver Rd for a few months -- and SO many others.
I cherish the times we all spent together. Pete was such an important member of both our families.
He will truly be missed.
Love,
Lynn
