Peter Arena Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Peter was the proud owner of Tatco Installations. He worked very hard and treated his employees like family. He was a trusted friend and was instantly loved by all who met him. He was always there to lend a hand when anyone needed him. He kept everyone entertained with his storytelling and loved having parties. He had a zest for life and, although he had been through a lot, he kept a positive attitude and greeted everyone with a smile. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.

Pete was truly one of a kind. His enthusiasm for life, business, his friends, interests, was without bounds. His love for his family was unlimited, Angela and Lauren were everything. It was an honor have been in his orbit, he is gone way too soon, we will grieve now but remember the good times, there were just so so many of them. God speed, my friend
