Lots of great memories of visiting with Peter (Pepito) at his Holyoke office located in Barnes & Noble. Every Sunday and Wednesday Pepito would be in the same chair looking like a mariner visiting from the VINEYARD. We would discuss the topic of the day. I always learned something and left smiling especially if I (Pucci) was able to pull the wool over Pepito's eyes.
The obituary paints a beautiful and true picture of Peter a proud DAD.--well done!!
Our condolences to Steven, Elizabeth, and the family.
GODSPEED OUR FRIEND, YOU WILL BE MISSED.

To his children...I grew up across the street from him in the 50s. We haven't been in touch over the years but remembering our childhood and his wonderful sisters Susan and Nancy, and parents. I'm sorry for your loss and send my most heartfelt condolences.

The description of Pete was spot on. We were breakfast friends at Memos and occasional acquaintances at Sorrento's. I'll miss him. Che Dio ti tenga nel palmo della sua mano.

Peter was a dear friend. We spent a lot of time together. He was a humble man and a very generous man. All of us who knew him were very fortunate.
He is now at peace and will always be in our hearts.

It was our good fortune to have met our dear friend Pete. We met him at the Holyoke Mall walking. He always kept us laughing and engaged in interesting conversation. His kindness and warmth were a treasure. Our deepest sympathy to his daughter and son. You were the light of his life. Pete will never be forgotten and will live on in our hearts. With love, Kathy and Carl Porcelli

I have been SO blessed to know and develop a friendship with Peter for the last 6 years or so. I have never met someone so positive and kind and with a humor like his. He sure did know just how to light up all our lives. I miss him greatly already and I hope he knew just how much I love and appreciate him. Forever I my heart until we meet again my friend.

Peter was one of our favorite customers that came into our Holyoke Yankee Candle store. He came in with a full of life personality, cracked jokes, and brought such a fun energy every time he came in. We all called him Balsam and Cedar Peter because of his love for the candle. He will truly be missed and i speak for everyone when i say we´ll all miss the energy he brought when he visited us

Steven and Elizabeth, I am an NPA affiliate of your Dad and grew up in Springfield. Always enjoyed working with your Dad or being with him at meetings followed by a dinner and never saw him without a hat. I will miss him and we will say a prayer for both of you and your families. My condolences, Steve Morris
