Dear Joann, Aunt Lily and family,
The Angelo family cousins have a special bond, whether we lived down the road or across the country. I was blessed to have Pete as a cousin. Amongst my most cherished childhood memories are of vacations my mom and dad would take my brothers and I on from California to Connecticut to see our relatives. Playing and swimming with Pete and at Towie’s Pond are among my favorite. I can still see us splashing and laughing. Years later, being able to share dinners with you and Pete at Aunt Lily’s and Uncle Paul’s while I was on business trips to the East Coast were equally special. May your memories of Pete comfort you. May he be at peace. May his memory be eternal. Much Love, Carol

I am going to miss him greatly. The last time i saw him was at my brother, Dennis’, jack n jill. I truly regret not going to him and telling him how truly i loved him and was honored to have had him in my life. God speed Peter and God bless the Arsenault family.—-Shannon

Grace Joanne,Tim, George,, and all of those of you in Pete’s family,
I only learned of Pete”‘s passing today and deeply regret not being able to attend his calling.hours and mass. Pete ,whom I considered a best friend in HS and college will be sorely missed. I live far from CT now which made it difficult to see Pete that often but whenever I was in town I never missed an opportunity to see him. All I can say is what an optimistic, outgoing, and honest guy he was. I will miss him terribly. God Bless!
