Hi Peter! They say that wishes do come true, but my wish that you would come back to visit with me again I don't think will be granted. You're missed so much by our family and your friends. So continue to look down on us to see how we are. Say hello to Mom and Dad for me.
Love always, your sister, Bernadine

...What an impact Pete had on everyone's lives...including mine. The evidence is the continuing notes..like this one... that people keep sending. And to an earlier person who wanted to know if the stories Pete told were true...the answer is an unequivocal YES!!!...Say hello to "No. 7, THE MICK" for us Pete!!!

I was thinking about you today a lot Uncle Peter... I got my new phone a few days ago and instantly thought of you. I said to myself ..boy, would he like to of seen what this phone can do! ... Just want you to know I miss you and Grammy and pop but I know that you're not sick anymore. The other night I went out with a few friends and I wore the NY Yankees jersey in remembrance of you. We miss you here!! Love SRT

Bernadine,
I am glad to see that friends are still writing remembrances about Pete. I am so sorry you lost your brother and we lost a friend we knew when we were all young. I met Pete when we were 15 and 16 and of course he had us laughing constantly. I learned all about Woodstock from him and still wonder to this day if his stories were true! I later ended up teaching at an Elementary School in Northern California named Woodstock and thought of Pete often. I had the good fortune to speak to him on the telephone a month before he died for the first time in 30 years thanks to my brother Dominick who called me when he ran into Pete. Pete sounded really great and friendly as ever. He touched our lives with humor and warmth. My deepest sympathy to you and your family.

I went to Saratoga over the weekend and it wasn't the same without my co-hort Peter. i have been to the upstate area many times over the past 40 years and it was a first without a truly great friend. It wasn't the same and his name was always coming remembering the good times we had. saratoga will never be the same. MISS YOU MY FRIEND
August 17, 2011
Hello, Peter. Had a quiet moment just now and wanted you to know that I really miss you alot. Glad you're with Mom and Dad in Heaven, so safe and in God's blessed hands. No more sickness, Pete and lots of laughs with the Angels. Wish we were kids again!
Love you forever!

I guess it needs to be said that Pete Sr. (The Barber) was the original greeter in front of the Fischetti Barber Shop and home on Congress St. Pete Jr. loyally assumed the role from his Dad when his Dad passed ...... I will still look for the two of you whenever I drive by this location and even though I may not see you ...... your presences will be felt.

Bernadine & Family, I only just heard about Pete. We werer friends from High School and for several years after. I have often thought of him since. He was a source of great fun and laughter. I am sure he will be missed greatly. My sympathy and prayers are with you.

I had one of the saddest weekends when I had to say good-bye to a truly great friend that I've known for over 40 years. He will surely be missed and his friendship will always be rememebered. The fishing trips, the ferry to Foxwood's, Saratoga, Lake George, Atlantic city and just sitting on the deck in the Hampton's sucking down bloody mary's and doing crossword puzzles. May god keep him under his wing he deserves it. I'll miss you Pete

Pete and I did some crazy things as kids. One than stands out was when were hid at the top of his driveway and threw snowballs at passing cars on Pawling Ave. One of us threw one through the window of a Troy Police car and knocked a cup of coffee out of the hand of a cop. Pete ran faster, I got caught, he didn't. Anyway, they threatened me but I wouldn't tell them who was with me ..... can I tell now Pete?
Bernadine & Family, I am so very sorry for your and our loss.

I remember being at Pete's house the day our astronauts landed on the moon (July 1969?) We celebrated with a case of beer or two or three... Everytime I would drive by his house in my 442 he would yell "GET ON IT, DOM!!" and I would light up the tires for him! Great memories of a great guy. God Bless.

I knew Peter through Tom Fox, when Tom had the bric-a-brac store and newsstand on Upper Congress. I was sorry to hear of Pete's death, but I did know he had been ailing for some time.

Unarguably the greatest "Ballbuster" of all time...anywhere, ever.It is impossible to think of Pete without smiling even now. He never let adulthood get in the way of a fifty year adolescence.I am so proud and fortunate to have had him as a friend. "Couple of beers Zeke?" When and where dear friend? Mike Langley

The beautiful thing about running into Pete somewhere is that you always had a story to tell later about running into Pete. He left you laughing and feeling good. He had a gift.

To Peter Fischetti's family: I haven't seen Peter since graduation at St. John Fisher College but remember him as a great and very funny guy. I enjoyed being with him. Many of his Fisher friends gathered in Rochester last summer to remember other deceased classmates and Peter was talked about quite a bit. Please accept my condolences and prayers.
