Passed away on December 11, 2001 at age 89. Born in Tonco, Northern Italy, on February 18, 1912 and arrived in New York at the age of six months. His parents settled in Sausalito, California, where they opened a restaurant. Pete then moved to Fairfax where he worked for Brooks Tile Company, which he later bought and actively worked until he retired in 1974. He was preceded in death by his son-in-law, Jim Rosa and daughter-in-law, Linda Galetti, and his brother, Louie Galetti of Calistoga. Pete married Virginia Rogero in 1940, who presently resides at the Rafael Convalescent Hospital. He is survived by three children, Larry Galetti, Gini Rowan and Lois Rosa Dean.
