Mr. Peter Anthony Saitta

Uncle Pete- Miss u & aunty

I was saddened to just hear of the passing of Peter Saitta, and would like to offer my sincere condolences to his children and family. I first met "Mr" Saitta when I was a freshman at Boston State College. He was my professor, my mentor, and my friend and was responsible for teaching and modelling the importance of a strong work ethic, and excellent teaching and coaching methodologies that lasted me during my lifetime career in physical education and coaching. During my four years at Boston State, when I ran into some personal as well as some financial difficulties, Mr. Saitta helped me out by allowing me to become his work study student under the Federal Student Aid Program. In reality, he took care and looked after me in every way possible so that I was able to complete my studies. Because of his mentoring, I was able to go on and pursue my Masters and PhD in Physical Education. The last time I saw him was when he and Mrs. Saitta attended my wedding in 1979. After that, my wife and I moved to Toronto and unfortunately due to distance we did not connect again. I will always be very grateful for everything he did for me, and I looked up to him as a tremendously influential person in my life.

He was such a nice man...and funny too with a good heart. May he RIP. Love Always. Anthony Angileri

Sorry for your loss. What that has helped me is found at Hosea 13:14.

I had the pleasure of working with Peter at Bunker Hill Community College where he was in charge of the athletic dept for student activities, and I was in the facilities dept. in charge of athletic fields. Peter and I shared some great times and accomplished alot despite not always having the resources needed to make the job easier. But somehow we always got the job done together , with a laugh an a smile while putting the needs of the student athletes first. My condolences to Peters family and friends, he will be missed. When I look out at the ball field he over saw the making off that now hosts many BHCC championships I'll think of Peter.

I loved your father as a son would love a father. he was so gentle and kind and caring. It was always a pleasure taking trips with him to the casino and to our regular card games. He always thought of others before himself. He had told me many stories about his life his children and his grand children. We had so much in common. I remmeber all his phone calls as if it was yesterday. He would always call and say"Frankie! did i wake you up ,you sound like you were sleeping". I will never foget him he has made an everlasting impression on me.
God bless you and your Family

My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time...
When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight. ~Kahlil Gibran

Uncle Pete, my heart is aching with sadness. All the wonderful things you did for everyone - there are just not more words. My prayers are with Laura, Frankie & families now...kiss auntie & the the rest of them for us.

May the love of family and friends carry you all through this sad time.
Peter was a cousin to my deceased husband Larry. Peter was a gentle soul, may he rest in peace.

We are so sorry to hear about Pete. We always enjoyed Christmas dinners with the Phillips & Mahoney clan along with Pete, Jan, Laura, Bob and Kara. Pete always made us feel a part of the family! We will always remember Jan correcting him during the annual singing of "The Twelve Days of Christmas"! Both he and Jan will be deeply missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. With Deepest Sympathy, Lorraine & Judy Rezendes

I worked with Pete for many years at bunker hill community college. He was admired and adored by the students he helped. I remember he would come in my office with students and get them whatever they needed to be successful. Rest in peace Peter.

Our thoughts and prayers are with him and your family...a great guy....always smiling. AMEN

Are prays and thoughts are with you...

I have such fond memories of my brother-in-law Pete. Those memories will never fade because I carry them in my heart.

I'm am deeply sorry for your loss. Losing a parent is so hard and something you can never get over. Praying for all of uou

Laura and Frank,
I remember your dad growing up. Your mom too. Both such great people.
Know that your friends are behind you, angels are beside you, and that God is always with you.
You are in my continued prayers.

I met Pete, Coach Saitta, at Boston State College during tryouts for the J.V. Team which he coached. It was the Best team I had ever played on up to this point in my career. We went undefeated that year 21-0 and it was the best "Team" I was ever part of and that was a direct result of Coach Saitta's style and influence ...GOD BLESS HIM and may he Rest in peace.

I never met Peter in person..but, I watched him play Somerville High School basketball many times, during his years there. He was a terrific player....one of the best. My best wishes to his friends, team mates and family during this sad time.

My mother, son and I had the pleasure of having Peter come into our lives only recently, but I can say for certain that he made a lasting impression on us. He was so much fun to chat with and listen to his stories. I'm certain he will be missed by many, many people who's lives he touched over the years.

I'm grateful to have met him if only for a brief time, it was an honor and a pleasure to meet such a wonderful man. I only wish that we had more time to spend with him and gotten to know him better. The rest of our family was looking forward to meeting him on Christmas Day, which was not to be unfortunately.

I can honestly say that my life was enriched by knowing such a kind and generous soul.

May he rest in peace.

Mike Ochs

Love you more than words can say, Uncle Pete. You will be with us always.
Diana, Michael, Andrew and Katie

He will certainly be missed!

Laura-
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Peter - The depth of your mentoring and guide cannot be over stated. My most cherished childhood memories working for you up at the Sam Jones Basketball Camp will never be forgotten, nor will those Peggy Lawton Choco-Chip Cookies that you rewarded us kids when we did a good job. I often reflect and speak of those days with proud and joyful tears. Thank you for all that you gave of your time, your knowledge, and your heart, while quietly paving the way to not only my success, but also to the successes of your children, your grandchildren, and all of those you coached and taught throughout your educational tenure. Without a doubt, I know that you will continue to share your light while in the Lords arms, and I know you will map out the best possible play for each of us in your spiritual playbook.

Acts 20:20
And how I kept back nothing that was profitable unto you, but have showed you, and taught you publicly, from house to house.
