An entrepreneur, shortly thereafter Peter opened his own barbershop. He maintained relationships with his customers long after the shops doors closed. He was hard working and dedicated to everything he committed himself to. He never backed down from a challenge, even when the obstacles were stacked against him.

A dedicated family man, Peter always put the needs of his family rst. He took great pride in his children’s accomplishments, and reveled in the joy of being a grandfather.

Peter also loved to entertain in his home. If you were in Peter’s house, you had a glass of homemade wine in your hand within seconds of entering and he would usually insist you stay for dinner. He proudly displayed his pride for his Italian heritage and culture.

Peter will be cherished and missed for his warmth, his humor, his larger than life personality, his friendship but most importantly for his love.
