Dear Maria, Sending our most heartfelt and deepest condolences on Peter’s sudden passing. Our family has known Peter for over 35 years and it doesn’t seem possible that we will never hear that thundering voice and laughter of his again.
He will forever hold a special place in my heart for the loving and respectful way he always treated my father Alfonso. May the memories that you two shared console and comfort you Maria at this time of sorrow. Keeping you in our thoughts and prayers.
Con Affetto

We are deeply sorry to hear about Peter and although no words can really help to ease the loss you bear, just know that you are very close in our thoughts and prayers.He will always be in our hearts.

Cara Maria:
My heart sank when I found out about Peters sudden death. I’m saddened that I won’t see his smiling face at an Italian club function nor hear his hearty deep voice and laugh. He was a family friend for over 35 years and had a lot of history with both my father Alfonso and mother Silvia. Peter was a genuine, unique and loyal friend – he will be missed by many I’m certain. May you find solace and courage in the memories that you shared together.
Very Sincerely
Tina Vigilante

We were sad to hear of Peter’s passing. Our sincerest condolences to Maria and Peter’s family.
We became friends with Peter in Yellowknife in the early 1960’s. This friendship was renewed around 2005 in Kelowna. Peter has been a generous and kind friend, always willing to help. We will miss his company and the good times we shared.
Arrivederci Peter.
Reno, Phyllis and family.

My sincere condolence’s on Peters passing. He came to Canada in 1957 and lived with my family until he moved out west. I got to see him on occasion and traveled with him to Italy in 2009 for three weeks. He was my most colorful cousin. Rest in peace and until we meet again. Adelchi Facca

My condolances are late, but I have had Peter in my thoughts since his death. He was a big man with a big voice, but more importantly he had a big heart. He was full of life and we will miss him greatly.
My family’s thoughts are with you too, may his love for you give you peace.
