Our brother lived his life to its fullest. He was unconventional, crazy, smart, stubborn and had the biggest heart! He was larger than life. Very opinionated about any discussion (I use this term lightly) science, religion, music, and politics but ultimately, he was ALL ABOUT FAMILY! He loved his parents, his wife, his children, us sisters, nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends. He made a very conscious decision about calling all of us as often as possible and generally affirming he was going to be okay and not to worry. Our brother was strong! As we were going through photographs and music for our brother, we are reminded of so many incredible memories and stories. Our brother will always be a very big part of this family and his memory will live in all of us but especially in his children, Jack & Chloe. We love you Perry and will miss you! xo

I had known Perry and his family since he was a young teenager. I am deeply saddened to hear of his passing. We'd been in touch several times in recent years. Perry lived life with humor, courage, and intelligence. A beautiful soul who embraced life with iron arms and hands. So many stories and so many memories. Rest in peace, my friend.

Uncle P. The coolest, and most bona fide person I can think of. My mom would tell me “he marches to the beat of his own drum”. He did things the way he wanted and lived fully. He would talk your ear off for what maybe felt like hours–probably could be hours. Whether it came to science, current events or any upcoming projects he would be working on. My Uncle Pietro would sit me down with a bass guitar in my hands and teach me all the different chords; A, E, D, G. This went on for a couple of visits….I was not gifted in that way like my Uncle was. Eventually, it was just him playing for us… the bass ..and then the ukulele. He was musical and he was smart. I still remember his laugh and his baby voice when he told me he loved me. I remember being younger and thought he was so cool with his mohawk and his tattoo; and as I got older, I learned he was even more exceptional on a totally deeper level. He was passionate and loved deeply. As I flip through pictures, I see how much my Uncle enjoyed life. He smiled often and he was always encouraging until the very end whether it was about himself or us (he always threw up “rockstar hands” reminding us he loved us). Uncle P was a badass. He loved my Aunt Lisa and cousins Jack and Chloe so intensely. And I am glad he marched to the beat of his own drum because all these amazing qualities came from that. My uncle will be composting himself into soil to become a tree. Not only is he contributing to the Earth, but he is becoming a part of life. My Uncle Pietro is going to be a living, breathing tree. I think that alone sums up what kind of person he is. I miss you Uncle P. And I love you. -Julianna

Pietro, you were one of THE deepest most generous and intelligent souls I will EVER have met on this tragic plane we call "life". Never far from my heart and thoughts will you EVER be, You absolutely grounded my transplanted-ass those sooo many years ago--I indeed worshipped your native-ness, listening to your stories about Brooklyn and Staten Island, with your beautiful regard for friends and family. With everyone, you were joyous--but never careless--in your high-caliber discussions. You'd be willing immediately to construct a water-powered solar-aided generator, as you were fixing a computer no other tech-repair place would touch. Your romantic heights were unparalelled, but you were building that music studio right into your apartment. Wouldn't it be great to jump up and go to Bosnia with the electrical-detection unit-- "the evidence of ancient pyramids" you said is everywhere" . I have concluded you were right in that our genetic material was bred by aliens. The nature of the universe into the wee hours at DBA, jamming at Ron's basement with Darrell, rocking "I use to call Lisa, now I call the policia!" --one of the best NYC punkrock lyrics-- love that song! "i've forgotten more than you'll ever learn", you used to say. I know that to be true, lol! I love you sooooo much, bro'. Goodbye!

I remember the first time I met Pietro. It was at a jam on 3rd St. in the East Village and I started a Clash song. He jumped in a gave me such a knowing look that we bonded right then and there. He was so smart and enthused about everything. Generous and fun. We share a common love of the bass guitar and I’ll always remember his fav songs to play. Werewolves of London. I Wanna Be Your Dog. The Passenger. Middle of the Road. And so many more. Pietro showed up with his Mohawk and became a hero of sorts. Then he came to Halloween as the Silver Surfer…completely committed in silver from head to toe! He was always willing to share stories of his ambitious projects and talk about his family especially his darling little girl, who he was in awe of. He freely shared his expertise and always wanted to make things better. Pietro will be missed but never forgotten. He’s living in our hearts and laughter.
