To the DeAngelo, Fellouris, and Stockhoff family, my deepest condolences to you all. I know this is a time of great sorrow but also of great happiness to have had such a wonderful man in your lives for so many years. One of the best memories I have of Peter was actually the first day I met him. Lynn and I were in the middle of playing a game of hide and seek when he had come home from work. He came upstairs and was standing in the hallway talking to Lynn while I was hiding in the linen closet too scared to come out. Eventually I made noise and he opened the door to see a strange girl crouched down amongst the towels. He demanded I “get out of the there” which I clumsily did and tried to put a brave face on as Lynn introduced me. Talk about making a good first impression! Throughout the years, I remember him always having the biggest smile on his face and being so very proud of his family.

To Peter DeAngelo's family. My name is Rich Pennetta, I am a first cousin of Peter and we had grown up together in Jersey City at the beginning of our lives. We have remained as brothers for all of the 82 years that Peter was on this Earth. I could say a lot but of course this is not the medium in order to do that. I have to say with a full sincerity that Peter is the best friend that any man could have in his life and I was very lucky to have had him in mine. We built a bond the very few people in this life could ever have. I could write a full page about Peter but it really would have to continue into a book! Wonderful person, best friend, good human being and more. He is already surely missed.

A kid named Horowitz grew up calling a guy named DeAngelo - “Uncle Peter”. Above and beyond my deepest condolences, I want to say two things, First, every memory of Peter is as the classiest, best dressed and best spoken person in the room, he was patient and sincere and for that I will miss him dearly. Second, to all of his extended family, may the many great memories you have of him help ease the pain of his passing. Ira-

I first met Peter when I was 19 years old. He was, without a doubt, the most handsome, charismatic, intelligent man I may have ever met and had a smile that lit up the room. I knew instantly he would be the perfect match for my fabulous sister Barbara & introduced him to her. They fell in love immediately, married, and had three beautiful daughters I will always cherish Peter in my heart and in my life.
