We all have great stories about Pete. My goal is for friends and family to populate this site in general, and these pages in particular, with them. I am working on making this task automatic, but until then if you have a favorite story, you can just jot it down in any text editor (Word, Notepad, etc.) and email it to me (along with any photos you want to include).     FROM FAMILY   Rosalie (Mom) Triola's "The Seance" One night -- and this I will never forget-- he came into the house looking for candles and, naturally, his father asked him why he wanted them... Maria Triola's "Pete Was My Brother" One day, (out of boredom I can only guess to remember) we spent the afternoon “flinging” those 45's against the basement walls just to see them crash!! ...   FROM FRIENDS Dave Brimlow's "Battle Of The Bands" Because this Battle was for all the marbles. It would determine who was the number 1 or number 2 band in Farmingdale ... it would give bragging rights and potentially many gigs at parties and dances ... Pam St.John's “Thanks for the Memories” A lot of the guys were getting more and more into the music thing. The bands started forming, and thus the musicians of the area began to emerge…..Pete played drums back then and oh my God what a drummer he was!!!!! …... Louis Vecchio "Respect" It is so hard to put thoughts onto paper. I can write a million funny things that Pete and I have been through....I just want to pay him respect in this way...
