Peter worked as a foreman for Model Blouse and a supervisor at Two Guys department store in Vineland, where at Christmas, he would dress as Santa to celebrate the holiday. Pete was also a very talented tailor and floral designer. He created many of his children's outfits for special occasions such as Easter and Christmas. He also made wedding dresses, prom dresses, and dresses for many of his family and friends. As a talented florist, Pete managed Family Florist and Al's floral shop for many years, and after that, managed Mom's Shop before retiring. He enjoyed creating spectacular arrangements for weddings, funerals, and special occasions. Many people from outside of New Jersey would call him to create special bouquets for their family members. Although he enjoyed working and creating his floral arrangement, his biggest love was spending time with his family and friends. At family events or special occasions, he would be the first in line at the dessert table. He would light up at Christmas and birthday celebrations, knowing that he was going to spend time with his family. He will be deeply missed by his family. The family would like to thank NJ Health Hospice for their compassion and care for Pete.
