I second that, Loretta. Two years since we lost you, Pete, and I still think about all our good times working together in Sun City West.  Mi manchi, amico mio.  Maggie

Time goes on but the love we have for those we lost never ends.  Remembering my friend Pete with lots of fond memories.   Blessings to his Family and Friends.


What can I say about Pete Roberto?  He was a coworker. He was of Italian heritage (like me). But most of all, he was a dear friend.  I got to know Pete when I worked in Golf Operations and he was manager of Pebblebrook Golf Course. I think his pro shop staff would agree that he was a guy who could scare the livin’ daylights out of ya if he was mad about something or you did something wrong, but he was also a guy who could be so sweet and caring, and would do ANYTHING for you (and he was definitely the second guy more often than the first).  Although I haven’t seen Pete since early 2017, when I moved to Colorado, we stayed in touch by text and email. And, he wrote some really good ones. Funny thing about Pete -- he could bring tears to my eyes with some of his stories, and then the next minute have me laughing. Case in point: in a late 2018 email after relaying some of his health setbacks at the time, he spoke of his daughter going through her own very serious health issues. He said, “She is one tough woman, Maggie. She says I am her inspiration. But the truth is, she is mine.” So touching. So heart-wrenching. But before I can even wipe the tears away, he continues with, “Enough of that already! Whenever I think of you, it is seeing you pushing that snowblower up the hill…” [George, my husband, and one of Pete’s golf buddies, had shared one of our many Colorado snowstorm photos with him], “…and I’m sure George was just sitting in the nice warm house watching you from the window!” He had SUCH a sense of humor. And, he ended all his texts with “your friend, Pete.” I loved that. I will miss those texts and emails, Pete. I will miss you. Rest in peace, my friend. Maggie Alcorn

I first met Pete while working for Honeywell Fort Washington, PA. He always seemed pleasant and approachable and eager to help you if he could. We grew to be friends and both grew within the managerial ranks of the company, and although Pete's climb to the top was faster than mine, he never let that change who he was as a person. He was always friendly and respectful of others. He respected your race, your gender and your opposing religion beliefs. None of that matter, if you were his friend. Through a mutual friend, I learned that he was a good golfer and would sponsor an annual golf outing for friends from PA to Myrtle Beach, SC.   Pete was one of the first transferals from PA to Phoenix and upon my arrival, he was one of the first to welcome me to Arizona. 
He was and is an overall good person and dear friend. He will be missed.
My heartfelt sympathy and prayers goes out to his family and other friends. We have truly lost a good soul.  

I have known Pete as a friend since October 1968.  He was the first person to befriend me as a new employee of Honeywell Fort Washington.  He was a fun guy that always treated me with respect. I have fond memories of times spent listening to music, golfing and bowling.   
I was one of those that relocated to Phoenix and Pete made sure to welcome me.    We had a good time dancing at my wedding.  
I send Love and Light to his Family and all those that have a tear in their heart.

  

Our sincere condolences to the family. Pete was a dear friend. I will miss him at Sunday breakfast and on the golf course. I asked him why he watched so many Hallmark movies. He told me because we all need more happy endings in our life. I will think of him every time I turn on a Hallmark movie. 

This is the picture of the 4 cousins taken September of 1958

Cousin Pete, unfortunately as the years go by our large and extremely close and loving family only seem to see each other at the very happiest or saddest of occasions. But I have so many happy memories of us: Like the family picnics 3 times per year, where we played sports, cards and just had so much fun. And especially during our teen years when the 4 cousins got together to play touch football. Just 2 against 2. It was always you and your brother Jimmy on opposite teams, intensely guarding each other like the championship was at stake, and  me and our cousin Mickey (Chile) would be guarding each other. Sometime s it got pretty heated during the game but we always hugged each other afterwards. Or the time the same 4 cousins, after celebrating New Years Eve with our large family at our grandparents house and ended up "sleeping" together in their attic. After hours and hours of laughing and laughing we finally "settled" down to sleep for a few hours. Great memories Pete. I love you, RIP. Cousin Vince Marincola

Cousin Pete, it has been many years since we last saw each other but you were always in my thoughts. I will miss your smile that you always showed me and my heart will be sad knowing you are no longer with us. God bless you Pete 
I love you my cousin, Jimmy Cas
