May I offer my sincere condolences to the DeCaprio family on Peter's passing. I worked with Pete in New Haven in the early 80's. It was a pleasure to have met him and to visit with him a few years ago. Rest In Peace Chef.

Peter and I were best of friends, his ma and pa were my adopted parents and I felt like part of that loving family. I will never forget the times that we shared together and the adventures we went through, and I will see my buddy again. I am sure his angels will take care of him.god bless you my friend.

To the family of Pete,
My sincere condolences. I met Pete when I was in sixth grade and they "integrated"rural Branford Hills School by importing students from other parts of town. I was wary - our community was very insular - but Pete had wonderful, gentle, positive, sweet energy and I can't believe that energy has left the planet. he brought may smiles to me in sixth grade!

Pete was my next door neighbor growing up. We had many childhood memories together. He would make me laugh until I cried. Thank you for all the memories. My condolences to go to his entire family, his dad and two brothers.

Pete loved the water

I'm very sad to learn of Pete's passing. We had a great experience together along with Eddie Murphy and Larry Miller with our band "Breach of Peace." I also worked at the W.T. Grant restaurant as a dish washer when Pete was the cook. He always fed me well!! I remember him as a fun loving guy who didn't have a mean bone in his body. I was a face book friend of his and I had no idea he was sick - he never mentioned it. RIP Pete.

Peter, Sr. And family: so sorry for your loss. I remember him as a youngster, when you and your late Wife (Rita) and your Sons used to visit with my late Sister Marge Onofrio and her family. Rita and Marge were great friends. May your Son Peter rest in peace. He suffers no more. Anthony and Terri Gamberdella

Although I only met Peter early this year, I've never known a sweeter man with a more generous heart. I enjoyed the short time we worked together and will miss him dearly. My sympathies to Peter's father and siblings, may he now Rest In Peace ~
