Great man, never let me down. Loved Pete. My kind of guy. I learned of His passing today and my condolences to family. I'm sure He is missed greatly..

I just heard of Pete's passing. I send my deepest sympathy to you Nancy and your family.
Pete was a wonderful, happy person. I was in his home room for 4 years @ Foreman and he was always happy & upbeat everyday.
My thoughts & prayers are with you all. He will be missed by so many.

Please accept my deepest condolences. I worked with Pete for many years at the Park District. Every memory I have of him involves a smile or a laugh. He never had a bad word for anyone and was one of our go to guys. It's so sad that we have lost Pete and Phil Gavin in the last few years. They were the best. They will be missed but never forgotten. May God bless your family and give you comfort.

To all the Barbarone Family it is with the deepest regret that I have learned of Peter's passing - he was an amazing young man that I remember so well during his adolescent years. His compassion and kindness were a rare quality for someone so young. I was so delighted I had the opportunity to reunite with him at our Foreman High School reunion in 2010 and to see pictures of his beautiful wife and children. My prayers are with all of you for your loss, especially for Nancy and your children and grandchildren and Peter's sister and brother and their families. May God be with all of you and give you strength in the difficult days ahead. He was a really great guy! Fondly, Nancy Olsen Trice
