December 25, 1937 - August 6, 2023
It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Pietro Bono Junior, a loving husband, father, and cherished Nonno. Born in Compofiorito, Sicily, Pietro's journey through life was filled with love, devotion, and many moments of joy spent with his family. He was 85 years old at the time of his passing.
Pietro's life was a testament to the strength of family bonds and the power of love. He is survived by his devoted wife of 56 years, Caterina Bono, and their two sons, Dr. Peter Bono and Dr. Frank Bono. Pietro's love and guidance shaped the lives of his sons, impacting them not only as individuals but also as compassionate and dedicated physicians.
As a young man, Pietro found solace and joy amidst the simplicity of life as a cattleman and sheep herder. He cultivated his passions, creating delicious cheese and wine, which became a source of pride and delight for his family and friends. When Pietro embarked on a new adventure in 1966, moving to the United States, he discovered a love that would last a lifetime. Meeting Caterina, his soulmate, he began a journey as a real estate investor while cherishing the profound love and connection they shared.
While Pietro embraced various accomplishments throughout his life, his greatest treasures were his family and the love he held for them. He adored spending time with his grandchildren, seven in number, who were the joy of his heart and brought endless smiles to his face. His legacy will live on through the memories and love he shared with each and every one of them.
Pietro was a man of unwavering compassion and believed that there was no higher calling than healing both animals and people. With his love for medicine, he instilled in his two sons a lifelong dedication to helping others, shaping them into exceptional healers and caring individuals.
Today, as we gather to celebrate Pietro's life, let us remember him for the loving husband, father, and Nonno he was. May his memory be a source of strength and inspiration for all who had the privilege of knowing him.
In our hearts forever, Pietro Bono Junior will be dearly missed but forever cherished as a shining example of love and devotion.
"With every sunset, a memory floats silently by,
We treasure the moments with a tear-filled eye.
The love in our hearts will forever glow bright,
As we hold you close, dear Pietro, in our memories tonight."
With deepest love and eternal gratitude,
The Bono Family
