Peter A. Italiano's Obituary
Peter A. Italiano, 93, of Syracuse passed away peacefully on Wednesday, May 26th. He was born in a village called Santo Pietro in Milazzo, Sicily to the late Salvatore and Giovanna (Crimi) Italiano. He came to the United States in 1958 and was employed at New Process Gear for 27 years, retiring in 1990.
He was a hardworking man who always provided for his family. He did whatever it took to take care of everyone and never complained. He enjoyed drawing, painting, gardening, wood working and spending time with his family. He was a dedicated and loyal husband, father, grandfather and friend. He instilled in us that nothing is more important in life than family. We will miss him dearly.
