EAST LONGMEADOW- Peter J. Manfredi, 57, passed away peacefully at home, on April 26.
He was born in Springfield, MA to the late Marshall and Daisy (Johnson) Manfredi. He was a longtime resident of both Massachusetts and New York, most recently residing in East Longmeadow with his sister Nina Forbes, his niece Connie Pelletier, and his nephew Kyle Jacobs.
Peter was the cherished father of his sons, Randy Kern and his wife Crystal of Ware, Kevin of Ludlow, and Christopher of New York; his daughter Jennifer Cabrera and her husband Michael of Ludlow. He was a devoted grandfather to Mackenzie (Kenzie) and Jayden Kern.
Peter derived his greatest enjoyment from camping out, having bonfires, listening to his vast music collection, and spending time with family, friends and his beloved dog, Bear. He was a simple man with simple pleasures in life.
He will be sadly missed by his brothers Duane, Dino and his wife, Joanne, all of Florida, Gary and his wife Bonnie, of Springfield, and his twin, Paul of Chicopee; his sisters, Nina Forbes of East Longmeadow, Diana Olejarz of Northampton, and Tammy Manfredi of Georgia.
Peter was predeceased by his brother, Marshall Jr.
He is also survived by countless nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.
Peter’s kind heart and abundant generosity will be greatly missed by his mother in law, Rosemary Richard and sister in law, Michelle Smith, both of Ludlow; and the mothers of his children, Amy Kern of Ware and Margo Harrington of New York.
Per Peter’s wishes, there will be no services. Arrangements have been entrusted to the Forastiere-Smith Funeral Home, 220 N. Main St. East Longmeadow.
