in the Merchant Marines during WWII. He drove cab, owned a tavern and ended
his career as a longshoreman. Peter was a retiree of the I.L.W.U. Local 19.
Pete was a dispatcher for local 19 for many years.
After retirement he and his wife Harriet spent many winters in Sun City, AZ
and traveled to Italy to visit cousins. He was very proud of his Italian
heritage and loved speaking the language.
He was razor sharp to the end,
reading the newspaper from front to back daily. Dad was a kind and caring
man who really enjoyed people and always had a story to tell.
He is survived by his wife Harriet of 65 years, daughters Gretchen ( Lynn ),
Nina (Gary); six grandchildren, and five great-grandchildren. Peter was
preceded in death by his son Daniel and siblings Nello, Moreno and Nellie.
