Jason Ortepi & Family
Uncle Pete. You’ve got your wings. You always had them. Your time with us I will always look upon fondly. You had great panache. Weather it was your dance moves (Marianne has never had a dance partner like you), your choice in music (Sam & Dave 8 tracks or Toto Cutugno) or your stucco ceiling for your bar. You were you and we loved and will always love you for it. I’m pretty sure that when you walked through those gates, they had an espresso with some grappa going and Stars on 45 playing. Time to kick back, relax and don’t stress too much if those pearly gates looked a little outta square. Fixing them wont be a problem for you. Amongst many things, you were a master at your trade. Thank you for all those memories that you left me with. It was an honour to have known you.

Christine and I were very saddened to hear of the passing of our very dear friend Peter. He will always remain in our hearts . I will remember the early morning golf games at Pinewood Golf Club and then going to Zio Nellos for bacon and eggs and prosciutto or when you guys would come up with milk and we would make ricotta and cheese. Peter had an art and was very fussy on the right temperature and he did it the right way. We will always remember the good times we shared and you will be missed. Our prayers are with you and your family during this very difficult time.

My heartfelt condolences to Rose and family. I met Peter during the construction of Chestnut Manor. He lived two doors from me for nine years. For two of those years we were Directors on the Condo Board. Peter educated me on many aspects of the construction world. I looked on him as a good friend.
Rest in peace, Peter.

Richard Esposito
To my dear Zio and Padrino Peter, you have fought a long, tough and completely undeserved battle with this terrible disease that has taken too many of our most dearest loved ones. Now you have finally came to the end of the suffering and pain endured, which I hope has brought you the relief you deserved. It’s still hard to believe you are now gone because I always looked at you as a hero in my life and unbreakable as a man. I can’t find the words to describe how appreciative I am for all your guidance given to me and everything you’ve also taught me through the years in terms of work and how to be a good man. They say that a man dies twice, the day he physically dies first and then the day he becomes forgotten by those still alive. Rest assured, you will NEVER be forgotten! I promise you that! Your impact on everyone who’s come into contact with you has always been positive and beneficial. I find comfort in knowing you are now with God and watching over us all. May you rest in peace Zio. With lots of love, your nephew and Godson,
Richard Esposito
