Mike and family, my sincere condolences for your loss. I met Mr. DiBello at the Erie Canal Museum a few years ago, and enjoyed chatting with him a great deal. I wish you peace during this difficult time.
I will complete the milestones of my life thinking of you watching over me. You played a huge part in my life and I appreciated every moment we spent together, even the tough ones. I will miss you. I love you papa.
I am making a contribution to the All Faith Food Pantry in Peter's memory and in honor of our old friendship .... Mary Anne Venditti
Dear Julia - please accept my deepest condolences on the loss of your brother Peter - please know you are in my thoughts & prayers, as our friendship goes back many years.
Rest in peace, Papa ❤️
My grandfather was hands down one of the most kind and generous people I've ever known, and he would go out of his way to help those in need. He was able to gather the attention of so many people from his church and his community and even motivate them. I'll never forget how this man had the ability to make someone's day just by saying "hi" to them. I can recall so many times where we would go with him in public and he would always have to go out of his way to stop and talk to someone he recognized (even if he barely knew them), making their day as they would say, "There's Papa Pete!", and his kindness, generosity, and charisma is something I will always look up to and remember for the rest of my life. He was truly a fighter and it was impressive that he could still get around at age 93. One thing I'll always be thankful for is that he got to see me graduate high school. Even though he couldn't come to the little "drive-through" ceremony my school had, I'll never forget going to visit him right after I walked the stage, dressed in my cap and gown. I'll never forget how proud he was of me and how happy he was to be able to see me just minutes after I recieved my diploma. Though I never really got to say goodbye, I know it was his time and I'm convinced that he's in a much better place and is watching over my family and I, right beside my grandmother. I love you, Papa ❤️
To my friend Odetta and her family. I am so sorry for your loss. Even though I never met your Dad Odetta I could tell what a special person he was. May you have many happy memories. Christine Plumridge
Dear Odetta and Family,
I am so sorry to hear of the passing of this wonderful gentleman!! He was a true example of living a Christian life as it should be lived. I cannot begin to tell you Odetta, of the tremendous respect I have for you. All of the love and caring that you gave to him was a beautiful inspiration to all of us who care for you. "Papa Pete" will surely be caring for you now as he and your loving Mom are together again watching over you. Sending you love, sympathy and prayers.
