Peter was my daughter's landlord in Long Island City. After first meeting him I knew my daughter had chosen a great place to live in Queens! He was such a kind man to both my daughter and me. People would stop by in front of the house and chat with him. I knew he was special to many. I also always saw him interacting with the grandkids, always with a smile. His family was all very lucky to have him in their lives.

Peter will never be forgotten He was a very Specisl gentleman I miss him every day He was caring for everyone & sensitive @ deeply loved his Grandchildren 
May God care for Peter Always 🙏🏼💔

Dearest Peter 
I think of you often how very Special you always were & miss you 
I am sure your wonderful Grandchildren miss you terrible You we’re devoted to them as they were to you
At for me in Heaven as I pray for you nightly 
Warm L❤️VE  Always Peter 


My husband and I were fortunate enough to live at 205 and call Peter our doorman.  He was always there ready to help with a smile on his face. We never heard a cross word about him from the staff or the residents. Peter was Peter and loved and respected by all who were lucky enough to know him.  He adored his family and we know they adored him.  His memory will continue to make us smile for many years to come.

Peter was the most wonderful , kind, happy helpful, gentleman who we got lucky enough to call our doorman. Over the year’s, he became a friend to my daughter , Chloé and I. He shined when he spoke of his grandchildren!! His family was his everything and the Mets as well:). 
As he watched Chloé grow , he was always enthusiastic about all of her achievements. Praised her for going on to a wonderful college.  He said, I will really miss you . I was impressed by his strength, he never hesitated to carry or do anything. He was up for it all~~ always with a smile , a humility , one of a kind  fair old school gentleman. My daughters favorite doorman ~~ We send our love, prayers, courage and strength to his daughter and grandchildren Thank you for sharing your dear Dad and Grandfather . Farewell my friend🙏🙏🙏

We have known Peter for the past two years of joining the 205 family. He had been a constant smiling figure that we can count on to see every weekend -- from the first weekend where he kindly helped us unload our groceries till the last weekend that we saw him in early March. We still think of you when we pass by the lobby during weekends. You will truly be missed.

Our deepest condolences to the Marchette's family for this loss. 

Sincerely,
Ellen & Emily -- Apt 2B

Allow me to extend my sincere condolences to the family of Peter Marchette.
I knew Peter in his position over the years at 205 East 78th Street.  Peter was such a nice guy; sincere, personal  & down to earth. He was always so helpful &  courteous to myself and others.
Peter had that special gift of genuine warmth - always seemed to have the needs of others on his mind & always making others feel just a little special - always greeting the many residents of this building on a first name basis.
What a loss. 
He will truly be missed.

Warm regards,

Arthur O’Connor.

To my fellow colleague,
It was pleasure on working with him, he was a gentleman, unfortunately he did not deserve to go this way.  Nobody does.   He had that type of personality that you just love, The only thing I did not agree on with him, is his choice of professional baseball in regards to the Mets.  
205 is not big enough to hold Yankees and Mets  rivals.  
He absolutely adored and cherished his grandchildren.   
He will truly be missed ,   Working  on the weekends will never be the same.   
Rest in peace my friend. 
Michael Lombardi

Warm Love & Prayers my Friend we understood each other & lifes ups & downs our last words to each other were I said to you “It’s always something Peter” & you responded “ It is always something  Helen” & this time it sure was Something never thinking these would be our last words 

We were so saddened to learn of Peter's death. He was always delightful to encounter when we arrived home at 205 -- especially on a Sunday evening after a weekend away. We miss him. Our condolences to his family and friends.

Peter it was a pleasure growing up with you and just enjoying your company through so many of our formative years. So many memories of you and Julie and hanging out and just being friends. I have so many stories to tell but we'll keep them between us. 
When I saw you on March 6 and we decided to go to lunch to celebrate your 69th birthday I told you I'd call you and I did on your birthday  but it went to voicemail and i left a message. Lunch will have to wait until we meet again. 
You're in my prayers my friend and you will always be remembered as the great person you were.
Gennaro

I agree with the comments about Peter.  All of us who were part of Peter's 205 life know how special he was.  Warm and caring, sweet and funny, his kindness was genuine - and it was felt with each encounter.   My husband and I are brokenhearted for his family -  our sincere condolences on the loss of their Dad and Grandpa.
I will miss Peter.
And I will remember him.
I see him smiling at me as I walk through the front door.
I'm smiling back at you Peter.
We all are.
Sara and Klaus Sinfelt

I’ve lived at 205 for over 45 years. I always looked forward to the weekends for Peter’s shift.. He was upbeat, humorous, and tended to our residential needs with integrity, grace and dignity. He had a wonderful heart and soul.. He is missed by so many people that you never met.. He is with his sweetheart now and both of them are looking over you.

Peter was very dear to me and my husband. As residents at 205, Peter was a bastion of warmth and generosity.  He was both professional and kind. We will miss his smile and pray that he is at peace. 

Deepest condolences to the Marchette family during these difficult times. Peter was the kindest of souls he radiated a warmth that all his co workers felt. I only knew Peter for a brief time but he left a lasting impression on me with his wonderful caring personality. He always talked lovingly of his family, he will be missed. 

Sincerely Joe - a co worker 

Peter Marchette was one of my wife and I’s favorite doormen here at 205 East 78th Street. Having lived here most of my life, I have known many people who fulfilled the role, and among them, he was exemplary. It’s not that he did anything extraordinary, but he was just a real gentleman--always helpful, always respectful, and solicitous as to our health and state of mind. I knew that he was retired, a widower, and had two wonderful grandsons who sometimes came to visit with him while he waited for his shift to end and ride home together with his daughter to their home in Queens. Peter was, as some of my people say, a real mensch. His light has gone out and the universe will never be the same. Every day at 7pm we bang a pan in his name.

 Peter was a kind soul, true gentleman, and someone I can look up too.  We worked together in 205 in the city, all he spoke about was how fond he was about his family, especially his grandchildren. We would also talk about how bad drinking soda is but every now and then we get to cheat and drink some well, me more than him.
  I just changed my shift from afternoons to morning leaving him behind, and didn’t really get a chance to say a proper goodbye, not knowing the circumstances that would come upon the following days.  I wish I was able to say the proper goodbye to Peter he was a role model in my life and I’ll never forget him. I can hear his voice over the radio, and recall the day he almost lost his dog in the river but then winded up on the news and found the dog by the way which was great.  Anyway Peter your a great man, you did good deeds in your life time and you always stood pure. Be good friend, and I hope when the time comes I get to see you again miss you weekends will never be the same!
