Peter Caluori

Peter Caluori, 67, of Wallingford, loving husband of Darline (Dean) Caluori, passed away July 15, 2025 at Cambridge Manor in Fairfield. Peter was born in Bridgeport on June 27, 1958, a son of the late Italo and Rosaria Caluori. Peter worked as a pressman at Brook and Whittle and Ansel Label. He was also a handyman, a jack of all trades, if anything Pete could fix it. He was an avid lover of music, attending live concerts, collecting albums of his favorite artists as well as classical music, and constantly listening to music. He enjoyed being with family as that was the most important thing to him. Nothing made him happier than being with his grandchildren and always hosting the best Italian Sunday dinners. He had a passion for baking and making a different type of cake each week. He always made sure there was toys and entertainment at Pop Pop's house! In his younger days, he spent time working alongside his father Italo at an Italian pizza restaurant. He took pride on working on his house, always finding projects to complete and coming to the aid of his daughters with home repairs. He was always a very hard worker and did anything to support his family. He was very selfless and always put his family first. He enjoyed taking long bike rides with his children when they were growing up. He had a great sense of humor and always made us laugh with the stories he'd tell. He was a very humble and welcoming man who could connect with anyone who came into his life. In addition to his wife, Darline, he is survived by his daughters, Jennifer Valle and her husband, David, Carrie Deninger and her husband, Kevin and Elise Caluori; his three granddaughters, Catherine Deninger, Alyssa Deninger, and Veronica Valle; his sisters, Rita Santacroce, and Adelle Caluori; his brothers Marco Caluori and Ernie Caluori; and several nieces and nephews, Michael Santacroce and Anthony Santacroce, Angela Ford, Marco Jr. Caluori, Vincent Caluori, Nicolas Caluori, Alicia Caluori and their families. A memorial service will be held at a later date. Arrangements are under the direction of the Wallingford Funeral Home, 809 North Main Street Ext., Wallingford.
