Peter Oddo Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Hamden Memorial Funeral Home on Oct. 4, 2025.
Peter Robert Oddo, 78, of Hamden, passed away peacefully on October 1, 2025. Born in New Haven on October 27, 1946, he was the beloved son of the late Peter and Virginia Fudge Oddo.

Known to family and friends as Pete, he met the love of his life, Gerri, with whom he built a beautiful life in Hamden. Together they raised two sons. Pete was a proud U.S. Navy veteran who honorably served his country during the Vietnam War. Following his service, he worked for many years in the plastics industry until his retirement.

Pete will be remembered for his gentle demeanor and kind heart-qualities that he passed down to his children and grandchildren. He found great joy in being a husband, father, grandfather, and brother. He was an avid Miami Dolphins fan, a love he passed down to his kids and grandkids.

In addition to his devoted wife Gerri, he is survived by his sons, Peter Oddo and Michael (Kelsey) Oddo, both of Hamden; his cherished grandchildren, Dylan, Giuliana, and Rocco; his sister, Susan DeMarseilles (James) of Ft. Lauderdale; and his brother, Ronald Oddo (Jean) of Hamden. He was predeceased by his sister, Carolyn Bianco.

Family and friends are asked to go directly to Blessed Sacrament Church, 321 Church Street, Hamden on Friday, October 10, 2025 at 10am where a Mass of Christian Burial will be Celebrated. Full Military honors will be rendered after the Church Service. Condolences may be expressed at www.hamdenmemorialfuneralhome.com.

To the Oddo family, Susan I'm so sorry for your loss. I remember Peter and Gerri coming over on Sundays for Mom's dinner, and football. Dad a Giant Fan, Ron a Dallas fan and Pete loved Miami. He was very sweet and kind always. May be RIP forever. Renee Maturo

Pete became family the day we met him. He was a quiet man who listened when you spoke to him. The sparkle in his eye prepared you for his comments that always made me chuckle. His love of family and country will be remembered whenever we hear his name. Rest easy my friend.
