I was sad when I heard about Peter's death. He was a wonderful, loving friend to many, especially the Second Avenue kids who have now grown up. He still was their friend. -Marge & Joe Keil

JoAnne and family,
Our hearts go out to you at this time and in the days ahead. We were so sorry to hear of Pete's death. I know I speak for many when I say he was such a caring, great man. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Joanne ~ our deepest sympathy on Pete's death. Who would figure both of us living so close to each other in NY, yet finding each other at Englewood Beach in FL. It was always fun sitting in the circle at the beach and sharing the stories. Nick and Carole Magisano also send their love and Carole says "Hello". Pete will always be remembered at the beach. We pray God gives you peace and strength in the next few days and during the year of "firsts" without Pete. Believe me, they come fast and furious! Watch for the pennies [sometimes even nickels and dimes].

"Our family chain is broken
but as God calls us one by one
the chain will link again."

Peter was not only our true and faithful friend for over 35 years, he was like a big brother. We will never forget him spending a week with us in Florida at Thanksgiving, carrying furniture early in the a.m.and coming to rescue us in an accident. He was always ready to help. A deep loss for everyone who knew and loved him.

You loved your friends from Second Avenue and we loved you. God bless you, Peter. We will miss you. To all the good times and those wonderful spaghetti dinners.
