Obituary

Peter Michael Nani, of Pomona, NY, born February 4,1960 in Suffern, NY to the late Frank and Hilde Nani, died peacefully on May 22, 2025.

In addition to his parents, he is predeceased by his daughter Lisa Marie and his eldest brother Frank.

Peter is survived by his wife, the love of his life, Dorothy. His children, Melissa Paris (Bryan), Scott Atkinson (Alia), Camillo Archuleta (Sofia), Tommy Atkinson, Jessica Jade Craig (Mike) and Jessica Garrecht (George). His grandchildren Kayla, Vanessa, Paulina, Bryan, Ariana, Jordan, Layla (his retirement buddy), Raisabel, Eliana (Izzy), Rhiannon, Ryder, Reese, Madison (Dolly), Savannah and Luke.

Peter is survived by his siblings Tomas, Christel and Stephan, numerous brother and sister in-laws, aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews and loving friends.

Peter was a member of the North Atlantic Carpenters Union, Local 279 for 40 years, retiring from RW Dake Construction in December 2022.

Peter was a gifted, dedicated carpenter who built a legacy with his hands and heart. Throughout his career he worked on ground-breaking construction sites, complex renovations and everything in between. He brought precision, passion and pride to his craft.

Peter's idea of being a sports fan was limited to watching the Super Bowl, the Kentucky Derby and the World Series.  However, he was a true fanatic when it came to watching his many talented grandchildren.  He proudly attended, live streamed or watched on TV, their games, concerts and dance performances, being the loudest cheering fan among the crowd.

Peter's happy place was being with family, vacationing on the beach and trying his luck on Number 13 at the Roulette table.

Peter was a kind, generous and big-hearted man who put everyone before himself.  His love for family and friends was undeniable; he will be missed by all the lives he touched.

The family will receive friends Monday, May 26th, 2-7pm at the Moritz Funeral Home in Tappan. Mass of Christian Burial Tuesday, May 27th, 10am at the Our Lady of the Sacred Heart Church in Tappan. Interment to follow at Maryrest Cemetery in Mahwah, NJ
