Dear Ann, Michael and Krista, I was so very sorry to learn of the passing of your husband and dad. He was a really good guy. As a second cousin, and because my mom's godmother was Viola, we used to visit him and his family at his home in Queens. Peter was always kind, cheerful and made me feel welcome despite our 9 year age difference, which was a lot when you are a kid. I would see him at family events as we grew older and then the events were mostly wakes for all of the family members. He had to travel a distance to come to these, but he was always there. Unfortunately, I did not learn of his passing until after his wake but I can honestly tell you I would have been there had I known, because he was always there for our family. I will keep him and all of you in my heart.

When I met Peter for the first time, a few years ago, he was with his son-in-law and grandson, whom he clearly adored. He was straightforward & no nonsense from the start, so when he looked me in the eye & said, "I trust you", I believed him & was determined to never let him down. The minute I met Ann for the first time, I saw the reason behind sparkle in his eyes and smile. Behind every hero, is the woman who keeps him going.
I am honored to say that over the years, these two went from being clients, to friends, to more like family & my life is better for every minute I've spent with them. They touched my whole family & are as much a gift to anyone lucky enough to know them, as they are to each other.
There is no doubt, Peter is golfing in paradise & watching over Ann, Krista & their beautiful family until they can all be together again. Theirs is a love that clearly transcends all...on earth & in heaven.
God bless your newest journey, Peter. You are already missed, but never, ever forgotten.

My Godfather, Peter LoCastro,the husband of my first cousin on my dads side. A firefighter, a husband, a father, a Patriarch. As a young child approaching my teens, I looked to him as my role model and asked him to be my sponsor for my Confirmation. My Godfather, a badge he took seriously. Pete was the man I turned to for guidance, the person I trusted to aim me in the right direction, the one I went to when there was no where else to go. He stood with me thru those rough teen years, smacked me upside my head when I was out of line, but more often, fiercely defended me when I was the one getting the short side of the stick. In both instances, he still taught me the life lessons I needed to become who I am today. All the way thru my 20's even 30's, Pete was there. Its sad that as life went on, and I had kids of my own(who are his childrens godchildren now), we did not spend more time together, yes I have that regret. But I knew he was always there, and I know to this day, because of him, because of the life lessons he taught me, the values he has instilled, I am who I am, proudly. Pete may leave a hole in our hearts, but hes with me in much of what I do 50 years later.

Ann and family,
Fran and I would deeply saddened to hear about Pete's passing. It has been awhile since I seen him.Most recently at one of "The Animal House" reunions. He was always one of my favorite guys, especially after coining the phrase "Saint Francis" in reference to my wife for putting up with my antics. He will always be remembered by us and in our prayers may he rest in peace.

Dear Ann and family,
A light has gone out in Westbury. All our lives are diminished by Peter's passing into the arms of Our Lord. May your grief be short lived so that soon when you think of Peter you will smile remembering him as a wonderful husband, dad, grand dad and friend.
Joe, Angie, Michele and Michael and boys
