Sub:    Passing of Pete Ciano

Hey folks, sad news

We were notified by Pete Ciano's son, Gregg, last night, that Pete had passed away. Pete was suffering from a host of serious ailments, but seemed to have them all licked with the exception of liver cancer. He had been home for the holidays and seemed to be on the way to recovery. He went back in the hospital for treatment recently, but the cancer eventually took its toll as it does for so many of our friends.

Pete lived in Savannah, GA, where he will be waked. There will be a memorial service in New Jersey at some future date. It is ironic that the last time we had planned to see Pete was at the service for Tony Barber. He had taken a bad fall upon arriving at the airport the day of the service and could not make it. Little did we know that this was the start of a long battle for Pete, which eventually got the better of him.

I would appreciate it if you could pass on this message to others who may have known Pete. Gregg promised to keep us informed as details are known about both services. Please contact me if you would like to attend one of the services so I can let you know as arrangements are made.

We lost another great friend and a great person.

Regards, John
