My uncle Peter Greco passed away this Friday at the age of 89. He and my father were best of friends in their youth. My dad fell in love with his sister (my mom). The rest is history. Uncle Pete was always the cool uncle that every young kid wanted. He drove fast cars, wore fashionable clothes and showed every Christmas with more gifts that could reasonably fit in his car... among which was my first guitar. When we were kids uncle Pete would often take my brother and I to really nice restaurants where everyone knew him. He took us to see the latest cartoon movies and fishing trips. Lots of fishing trips. He caught so many fish that my family and neighbors never needed to go to the fish market. I remember only once going fishing with him and coming home empty handed. On the way home he bought a huge bag of fish from the local market for his friends and family. It remained our little secret until now. To my mother's torment he took us cruising around town in his car and spontaneously decide to take us on a much longer drive, like 400 miles away to Maine because he wanted us to appreciate what fresh lobster tastes like. Yes, he called my mother on route so she would worry. Uncle Pete left us to be in heaven with my mom and dad but not without leaving me so many great memories that I will forever treasure. Rest in peace uncle Pete.
