Peter grew up in Brooklyn and Queens. He lived with his wife Emilia in Sunnyside for almost 20 years.
Peter worked for Metropolitan Life Insurance Company for over 40 years. He took pride in his work and treated his clients like family.
Peter was well known among his family, friends, and community for his big heart. He always greeted people with a bright smile, and he had a seemingly endless supply of corny jokes to share with anyone who would listen.
Peter loved music. He played drums in a band called Red House with his younger brother, Frankie. They never made it big.
Most of all, Peter cherished his family. He was a loving father to his son, Matthew, and Matt’s wife, Christina, and he never smiled so brightly than when he became a grandfather to their son, Xavier. He loved his wife Emilia dearly and was beloved by Emilia’s family.
The world was a better place with Peter in it. He will always be remembered by the many lives he touched.
