Natasha Dearest Zia Edvige, Annie, Mike, Zia Connie, and Uncle John, and extended family
We are thinking of you in your time of mourning, and hope you find comfort knowing he is in good company. I am not sure if they are eating figs, castagna or salami, but I am sure they are onto a good scopa game by now.
Many hours we spent together eating fabulous meals and laughing with each other. Zio always loved to talk, and it was the best when he emphasized his point with “this is what I think,…or no?”, and we knew he wasn’t impressed with someone when he finished a story with”Goodbye Charlie”.
Thank you Zio Lui for the memories we made in all the dances, all the jokes, all the food and all the trips to Seattle! We will laugh and dance together again one day.
Much love to you all from Linda, Giuseppe and Natasha

Rick Gonder As a Saanich policeman for 30 years, I got to know Lui when he worked at the Municipal yard. That friendship carried on into retirement, especially at Hillside Mall where we often met for a chat.
Lui was a kind, gentle and loving man and he always had that beautiful smile. I’ll miss the many times he’d say “Ricky, you gotta comma Sit here wit me” and we’d have the most wonderful chats about life at Saanich and our over fifty year friendship.
My condolences to Edvige and the entire Peluso family.
R I P my friend

Gunnar Stephenson My condolences to the Family. He was definitely one of the coolest old young guys I ever knew.
Papa, Just to let you know that:
I miss you
I miss our conversations that started with – I may be wrong – but,
I miss hearing all the stories of your days in Italy
I miss looking out of the window and watching you tending your garden
I miss our family dinners together
I miss your laugh
I miss not being able to pop in on you
I miss going “swimming” with you
I miss ordering steak sandwiches for you
I miss hearing about your parents
I miss phoning you
I miss your hugs
I miss your after shave fragrance
I miss our picnics at beaver lake
I miss digging for oysters with you
I miss our “camping” & road trips
I miss you slipping me $20 for gas
I miss shopping with you
I miss my taking you to your friend’s homes
I miss going to the Italian hall with you
I miss your smile
I miss all your advice about home maintenance
I miss going to the Portuguese deli with you
I miss our lunches
I miss hearing you say “Oh my golly”
I miss dancing with you
Oh Papa, I miss you so much
There is not enough paper to tell you how much I miss you
Love you always
Concetta
