Pete was a proud man who loved God, Country and the Corps. He was a journeyman wireman for over 60 years with IBEW Local 1. He was a past member of St. Pius V Parish where he was active in the liturgy, volunteering, coaching and made many lifelong friends. He later joined St. Raphael the Archangel Parish where he was a fixture at 4:30 PM mass on Saturdays. Pete was a lifetime member of the IPC Bosco Boys and cherished the men in it.
Pete was a master chef and pit master, specializing in anything pasta, chicken Genovese and St. Louis style ribs and tips! He was a lover of golf and ice-cold frosty beverages!
Pete was happiest when he was surrounded by his family and celebrating their achievements. He will be dearly missed but forever endeared in our hearts.

What a wonderful gentleman. What amazing memories to treasure. Our prayers and hugs go to all of the family and friends whose hearts he touched.
Will always remember Pete for his great devotion and love for his faith and family. He was an inspiration to me and I know I would not be the man that I am today without his prayers. Please know of my prayers for the Genovese and Jansen family.
Proud to have known this great man! He was one of a kind. Fun loving, warm, personable & tough as nails. Loved his family. Great Father, Grandfather, husband and friend. Thankful for all the wonderful times that I got to spend with Pete and the family. Rest in Peace Pete!!

With a broken heart and tears for the loss of a great friend.
The good times and laughter had by many St. Pius V friends.
He is now among those friends as the wives are still close and cherish
each other with hugs and memories. I love you Pat, Mary, Frank and Marti.
Sending my sincere condolences to Petey Boy’s Family.
May God give you all His Comfort at this time.
