Dear D'Angelo Family,
This morning I was thinking about Peter and was saddened when I came across his obituary. I had the pleasure of working with him about twenty years ago through the ADD. He had a big personality and just loved his family. Peter will be missed! Best, Tara

Our thoughts and prayers are with Doreen and Randy, Peter and Rebecca, Monica, Grace, Rocco and Isabella.
Peter and I have been friends since 1960, which became a family friendship once we were married. We have great memories of the times we enjoyed together as couples and as families. We will miss him for sure. There hasn't been a day since Sue passed that I haven't thought of or shared an experience we had with them. Peter is now with the love of his life, and when we meet again we'll just pick up where we left off.
All our love,
Tina and Gene Argiro

It is sad that in this time we cannot express our condolences in person, but please accept them. I was very happy to have met Peter through the Appian Club and then to learn over time of the common connections we had through family, friends and our past work on Salem Street in the North End. Peter was a great man for what he had accomplished in life, but by also remaining "one of the guys" and always remembering and caring about his family and friends. He will be missed.

Doreen and Peter, I was sorry to hear of your father's passing. I knew Peter at Boston Latin School. He was a year ahead of me but our paths crossed a few times when we were there.

My condolences to Peter"s family. I worked at Raytheon for 38 years. Many of those I worked directly and indirectly for Peter. He was one of the smartest guys I ever worked for. More importantly Peter was a great person to work for. Peter would always back-up his guys no matter what was happening. Peter was instrumental in assgning me to an overseas position which was one of the highlights of my career with Raytheon. I will always remember Peter as great and wonderful good man.

My deepest sympathies to Peter's family and friends. I am proud to have met Peter and call him my friend through our association with the Appian Club. He captivated many of us with his recounting of his foreign travels, his early years in the West End of Boston and his multitude of activities in Stoneham over many years. He will be missed by all. Rest In Peace Peter.

It is with a heavy heart I heard this very bad news. I will always appreciate Peter's help early in my career as an advisor and mentor. He was a good and generous man who always liked a good laugh. My deepest condolences to his family - Fred Tenaglia

It was with great sorrow which I read of Peter's passing in Joining his beloved wife in Heaven for Infinity. On Earth I do not believe I know of a life which packed so much intelligence and service into the time God allocated for his life. He had a soul of an Angel and the strength of a Giant with compassion and sympathy for all he could aid in so many ways with his ideas, time, money and all else a person can do to make lives and business better. I will miss knowing he was 'here' in our Community as a mighty wall of goodness , ideas, his laughter, and the 'Goodness' of his soul. We all, who knew him, loved him and his beautiful wife dearly. Rest in Peace beloved man and Farewell until we meet again....

My condolences and prayers to the D'Angelo family. In my lifetime I have had the pleasure meeting a number of Special people, Peter was one of them. I worked with Peter, Served in public service with him, and shared a special friendship with him. All the accolades that he has earned over his life can be boiled down to, "he was a good man". A generous man, a loyal man, a man of character, a compassionate man, but most of all a man who loved his family above all. Rest in peace my friend, A job well done.
