Catching up on family memories while eating hot seiners and French fries is a memory I will always cherish. Someone who ALWAYS greeted me with a smile. I will dearly miss him. The last of the wonderful Langdon st. connection. Rest in heaven Pete, where they’re all waiting for you to join them in the next card game.

Sending Sue, Robert and family my deepest condolences. I loved your dad. So full of life from when we were kids, playing his music, being silly, giving my daughter jewelry at the St. Ann's feasts. So many memories. My parents were close with him growing up in the North End when we all lived in one community. Sue, your dad was a treasure. He even came to theater events I did with his CREW ;) . I loved him, always a smile on Pete's face.
Sending you my love. He's with mommy now. Love, Kathy McCarthy

My condolences to Susan, Robert and family. Growing up on Langdon Street was rich with family connections. All my Grandmothers siblings were there. I grew up with only the fondest memories of both your parents. In 1973, a festive group of relatives paraded down the street to my wedding in Joe and Louise (Marino) Rodios back yard. May you both rest in peace together.
