Dear family, I always thought of Peter as a friend, mentor and sometimes boss. I thank him and your family for the opportunities you gave me to grow in business and in friendship. One of the saddest days was when he told me he was selling United Electric and I wouldn't like the new bosses and it would be best for me to look for other employment.He always looked out for his employees as they were family.

Diane, I am so sorry for your loss. I worked with Pete in the 1960's at United Electric Supply when his dad owned it. We had some good times together, and got into a little mischief together when we were working the counter! Pete was a great guy and I am sorry he is gone.

He was a Great American, and always a pleasure to speak with. He saved my house, when I was able to get a loan from his business, and I have always been grateful. I sorry to hear of his death, but he lived a great life. May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

Dear Diane, Lenore, Ralph, Paul, Alane, Dedee and Evelyn and family:

I was shocked reading Peter´s passing on Monday´s Day´s paper. My sympathy and support go out to the whole family for this personal loss. Immediately Peter´s passing brought back great memories of our families growing up in the late 50´s and 60´s when we all lived across the street from each other on Tyler Avenue. We did many things together, having your parents and mine being good friends and neighbors.

Unfortunately, we are now at the age where family members are disappearing one by one, and it is too painful to comprehend. My sister Cyn passed away in 2022, and my brother Vic this past July. And now Peter Bartinik´s loss just last month puts everything into perspective. Both Peters were the senior leaders of your family during those early years.

Good memories will keep them alive as we go forward, but unfortunately their painful loss will also. I will always remember the good times as we all grew up together those many years ago as teenagers we were, . . . .

Love always to the Mariani family,
Rob Zuliani
