My deepest heart  felt sympathies and prayers for your family. Even though, I never had the opportunity to meet Pete, or this side of the family, I remember my grandfather speaking very lovingly about him. My heart and prayers are with you. Blessings from Houston, Donna DiBetta-Virgilio


Hey Uncle Pete,

I can't believe I am  sitting here typing this to you right now knowing I won't see you for a very long time.  Heart broken is an understatement and this family will never be the same.

I could sit here and type for days about the time we spent together, laughs we had, and the love and kindness you've showed to myself and anyone around you. 

You were my Godfather and you treated me like a son, for that I cannot thank you enough.   I will not say goodbye because I know in my heart I will see you again.

Now to conclude I would like to mention a few of your most impressive accomplishments in life...

1. 2018 Fantasy baseball Champ/ 2016 Toilet bowl Champ
2.  2012 and 2015 Fantasy football Champ

Love Always,
Jack Ass 

Big Pete,
I’ve been trying to find the right words to write to ensure anyone who read this would understand the love and affection my family and I have for you, but I’m not sure that’s possible. You were more like an Uncle to me and I will always cherish the knowledge and wisdom you have shared with me throughout the years. Lately I’ve looked forward to your visits from Florida because I would volunteer to pick you up from the airport which would allow us to spend precious time together that I will always cherish.  My Children adored you and would always look forward to seeing Uncle Peter when you would visit from Florida. I know you will always be with us, as illustrated by my children last week when they were saying hi to Uncle Peter while driving. I asked them where you were and they said Daddy that butterfly is Uncle Peter, and he’s watching over us. You will be greatly missed but never forgotten. Until we meet Again. 
Love,
Anthony

Big Pete

You had the warmest smile and were a true family man.
From the moment Mike and I met you we felt the love you had for June, Peter & Valerie. You  made Mike and I feel like we were family. 

My sister Susan was blessed to have you as her “Father” She loved you so very much.  We are blessed to have Peter as a brother and Valerie as a “sister”. You raised 2 amazing children.

Your love will live on in all their treasured memories. 
You were taken too soon and will be missed dearly.
Rest In Peace.🙏🏻
All our love always

Dear Di Betta Family,

Our Condolences on the Loss of  your Loving Husband & Father.
From Being Friends with his youngest , Valaire and Peter  for over 15 Years, I always Felt So Welcome to be in his Company. I recall Valaire's College Graduation Party, at the BBQ and His Beloved Oriental Plaza, on Peter's Trips back to Staten Island. I Stopped by to see everyone that evening. I'll Keep that night in my head of how everyone Should Remember Peter,  enjoying his company around the table! May God give them the Peace and Strength to  move forward.  All the guys and girls are thinking of you all from Staten Island.

Love, Michael Leto & Family  



Dear Valerie and Family ,

My deepest condolences. I am so sorry for your loss. Only met your dad a few times and he was truly an amazing man. Praying for you and your mother June , Brother Peter and entire family. 

"BigPete" you will be sorely missed, your warmth and friendly nature filled every room whenever you were there. A great husband and father, I've only known you since my daughter Susan met the love of her life, your son Peter and Your lovely daughter Valerie. Your lovely wife June, you were an amazing couple. The world is a sadder place without you. You will live on in your families memories and thoughts with the example you set. God bless you 😢😢😢💔💔💔

Debbie,

So sorry for your loss.  Please accept my heartfelt condolences.  Sending thoughts & prayers to your family.

Sincerely,

Uncle Pete, 
I still can't comprehend that you are gone.  Seems like a bad dream.  One I don't want to remember.   What I do want to remember is my summers staying in your house on Staten Island.  Waking up in your basement and walking upstairs.  You would be at the table drinking your coffee.  You always knew I would want the sports section to the Daily News or NY Post so you wouldn't fight me for them.   You would break my balls about the Giants or Yankees and we would go back and forth.  I will always hold those times close to my heart.   The one thing that no one could argue about you was your love for your wife and children.  I only hope I can match that love and affection for mine.  I love you and will see you again.  Give grandma and grandpa a kiss for me :)

Uncle Pete,

Your smile could light up a room! You were always so welcoming and loved to have a good laugh. I’ll never forget how you would tell me to go put sunblock on somewhere else because if I was too close it would interfere with your tan, we had a good laugh at that one. You were truly one of a kind. Your laughter, smile, warmth, and love was felt by everyone who knew you. You are very missed ❤️
Love, 
Ashley 

Peter will be greatly missed.  Fun times together.  Everytime I see a box of Dunkin’ Donuts it will always remind me of you. Looked forward to them.  Rest in peace. 💔💔💔💔

I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Peter.  My prayers are with this loving family.  

To my. Cousin A great guy that was taken to soon from us you will be missed you will always remain in our hearts I am glad we  went on that cruise together  a long lasting memory of  one of the good times we all had together 

Uncle Peter, love and miss you so much ♡
Growing up I always looked forward to the summer afternoons spent in your backyard in Staten Island. You’d find the sunniest spot to sit to get your signature tan and ask me to show you the drawings in my sketchbook. I’ll treasure those memories forever. 
I’ll always remember your warmth, your kindness, and your smile.
Until we meet again, Rest In Peace.

Big Pete,

If I had to use only two words to describe you, it would be “family man”. Your wife and kids were everything to you and that couldn’t be more evident. You were such a loyal husband and father to your family. I will never forget the summers we spent at your house in Staten Island. You were always so welcoming and warm to everyone and we’re always good for some classic stories of the family laughs. The memories we’ve shared with you will live on forever!  

For those who knew Peter you would know how hard it is to say goodbye to him.  For those who didn’t know him I will try to describe him to you a little.  He was an old soul to say the least.  Probally should of been born a generation earlier.   From the cars he drove ( usually a new Cadillac) or the music he listened to ( oldies and doo-wop ) to his jewelry ( Pinky ring) to his extreme love of family.  Because if you wronged or harmed anyone of us you wronged and harmed Peter.   He would protect you to the end!   He had an enormous heart that was filled with love for his family.   His wife June and kids Peter and Valerie were his world.  He was a simple guy who didn’t need anything fancy.  We did share a love for desserts as on most holidays we would laugh about just waiting for them to come out as everyone else was too busy over eating to enjoy it.  He was taken from us way too soon and I am still trying to understand that,  but I will always have you in my heart.  Until we meet again.

Dear June and Family,
There are no words to express to all of you how sorry we are.  Peter was a kind and loving person.  We will miss the wonderful stories that he used to tell, as well as, his huge smile.
Sending all of our love.
Jane and Jeff Cohen

Dear Dibetta Family and friends,

Our hearts, thoughts and prayers are with you all during this sad moment in time. As I was scrolling through some of my old photos searching for ones with Pete in them I thought to myself as I looked back into the past I thought wow what a wonderful life it truly is for all of us to look back at memories and cherish them for in that moment we don’t realize the memory we are creating for a lifetime. That to me is what Uncle Pete was about. Enjoying times together with family and friends and just embracing the moment.

 “A father is neither an anchor to hold us back nor a sail to take us there but a guiding light whose love shows us the way.” Let’s all remember the light Pete brought to this world and let us all let it always remain lit in her hearts and in our actions. Peace love and comfort to you all. We love you 😍 

My cousin Peter, no my brother… you were more than a cousin to me. You were always there when I needed you. You were my go to. You taught me so much. I can’t imagine life without you. I am so broken hearted and will miss all your New York trips when we always had dinner. We had so many good times. You were so easy going. I still can’t believe you’re not with us. Going to Florida will be so empty without you. You touched so many hearts. I love you Peter and I am so sad. Rest In Peace 💔

To my Big Pete,

I am heartbroken. You were like a second dad to me and all my great memories of you could never be put into words.  I had so many good times with you, especially in New York. I’ll always remember waking up at your house to your delicious cooking. I laugh when I think about you vacuuming around me while I was sleeping to see if you could wake me up.

You were a great husband and father. An all around wonderful family guy. Your calm demeanor is what made you you. I cannot imagine life without you but i know you’ll always watch over us. 

Gone from our sight, but never from our hearts.

We love you and miss you. Rest In Peace Uncle Pete. 

Pete the box is a great cousin always was sometimes we did not see each other but always kept in touch with me and my family. Peter is a great father and husband who he adored he raised two beautiful children and a beautiful wife   Peter is the best and always be in our hearts. I never thought I be writing this. Peter will always have a special place in our hearts.. R IP Peter. Love you always n  forever
Phil the bull

Our deepest condolences in the sad loss of your husband, father, and father-in-law.  May God give you all comfort and peace.

Dear Big Pete,

I will never forget all the good times we had in your backyard in Hamden Ave. Your backyard was the first time I have ever met your family along with grandma Joan and Aunt Kathy for Valerie’s graduation. That day you welcome me in with open arms into the family and continued to do so with my own children. I will miss our nights at the plaza when you would come up to Florida enjoying a drink together while you told stories and we would all laugh. My kids are going to miss you so much but they just gained another angel to continue watching all of us. We will all miss you big Pete until we meet again. 

With Love ~ Jenna 


I will always remember growing up we would visit new york and spend many summers all of us together in your home. You have always welcomed us with open arms and we always enjoyed being there!  Thank you for being so good to us but to my Dad especially. He loved you so much and felt you were like a brother to him. Your love and support for your family will be something nobody will ever forget and you will be forever admired for it. I pray you are in heaven with my mother and all of our loved ones that have passed watching over us. May you rest in peace. 

Love- Briana and Jason 

Peter DiBetta possessed qualities that we don’t see often enough in today’s society, and that was his role as head of his family. There was never a doubt that Peter’s first priority was his wife and children.  He was a devoted husband and a loving father. His marriage to his wife June was one to be admired. I had the privilege of watching his children grow into respectful adults that adored their father. He worked very hard to provide a good life for his family, but never at the expense of being there for them. I will always remember his warm smile and calm demeanor.  My favorite memories of Peter include many beautiful family gatherings and holidays. I will also never forget him waving from his work truck as he drove by my bus stop each morning on the way to the Staten Island  Ferry. You will be missed big Pete. Rest in peace. 

My condolences to you and the family … lots of love and prayers🙏🙏🙏🙏love always from the  Afanador Family 🌻

My sincerest condolences to the DIBETTA family during these tough times. All the love always.

Dear Big Pete,

Your smile, your laugh and your love for life will be greatly missed. Whether it be summers at the pool at your house in Staten Island, New Years Eve at your house when I lived in NY with Matt Miller or just laughing, joking or hearing you tell a story at family functions, I will always remember and cherish time spent with you. We love you and will miss you. Rest In Peace! 

Love Always,

Danny and the Christiano Family. 

I’m soo very sorry for your loss!
Your family is in my heart and prayers!!


To The DiBetta Family, 
My condolences on the loss of a great man with great presence. Uncle Pete always made me feel welcomed in his company, always asked about how my family was doing and always loved to talk about his love of sweets and good Italian food. We shared that commonality.  His physical presence will be greatly missed, but he will live on through his wife, kids and siblings and the beautiful memories they shared.  My heart goes out to all of you 🤍 May he rest in Gods eternal love and peace ✝️

Big Pete was the kindest man I ever knew. Growing up, I spend more time at the DiBettas than my own even into my 20s. The kitchen table, cutting  straws for drinks, and his calm demeanor is what I will remember.  Sending my love. Katie 

I want to Express my deepest condolences to The DiBetta family. I first met Peter DiBetta when me and his son became friends in 2002. To know Peter is to love Peter. He was an amazing family man and father. Everyone who knew him, loved him. He was always personable ,  friendly, and caring. I've known the DiBetta family for over 20 years and  I have a lot of happy memories being in their company at their house, friendly get togethers and family parties . It is heartbreaking to know that Peter is no longer on this earth and he will be missed dearly. Rest in peace. 🙏

My deepest sympathies to Petes wife and his children. Pete was a family man and often spoke about them with such love and happiness. I will remember him for his humor, kindness and willingness to help others. He will forever be in my heart and never forgotten.
