Pete Savino died on September 8, 2020.  Very sad indeed.  I really liked Pete and enjoyed the time I spent with him in high school and at the class reunions.  Pete was always a bit "cooler" than the rest of us.  No small wonder he spent a great deal of time in Las Vegas.  As Pete Zoschak would say, "It was only natural." 

 

A great drummer, quick witted, always with a smile, and someone who made you smile back for no particular reason.  I'll be sending out a website wide announcement soon, but I wanted to send this personal note to his friends and classmates.

 

RIP Pete

Peter was just such a standup sweet guy!
We kept in touch for decades,and I would see him when I was in Las Vegas over the years.
We spoke shortly before his death and he was in surprisingly good spirits even though he had stage four cancer.
He will be terribly missed by those who knew and loved him.
R.I.P. Peter,you will not be forgotten.

 I posted this photo for Peggy Peluso. The comment is mine.

I first met Pete as a 10 year old, bike riding through his neighborhood. Back in the day that’s how little boys explored and had adventures. Pete was hammering away on his drums inside his garage. The garage door was open and I wheeled into his driveway to listen. Later, we rode our bikes around and had a few adventures. We were never really close friends but I will always remember that first time I met him.

Many a phone call but only left a VM for Pete while he was going through his treatments/ I do remember our last phone conversation, pre 55th reunion, 2018. He was bummed because he could not afford the trip east. Tina and I had some good laughs with him on that phone call. Pete was very upbeat and always had a laugh/RIP, Pete/you will be remembered and missed😢
