Peter (Pietro) James Adamo, 91, passed away suddenly and unexpectedly from natural causes on March 9, 2014, at his home in North Tustin. He was born in Rome, New York, on April 18, 1922, to parents Giuseppe "Joseph" and Giuseppina "Josephine" Rizzo Adamo.
After proudly serving his country in the United States Army during the Korean War, Pete settled in California to practice his two passions in life. A restaurateur by profession, he will be fondly remembered by friends, family and patrons alike for his amazing culinary skills. When not in the kitchen, Pete could be found betting on the winning horse. He practiced both of these passions daily, up to the day before his passing.
Pete is survived by his children, Joseph Adamo, John (Amy) Adamo and Patricia Marie (Jeff) Groton; grandchildren Trever Adamo, Natalie Rae, Nicholas Adamo and Analyse Groton; siblings, Joseph Adamo and Antonia "Toni" (John) Fischer; niece and nephew, Robert Adamo, Gina (Don) Adamo Baker and their children Lauren Marie Adamo, Hannah Baker, Olivia Adamo and Ava Adamo. He was preceded in death by his parents and siblings, Dominic (Domenico) Adamo, Barbara Mungari and John Adamo.
Service and Interment: Good Shepherd Cemetery, Huntington Beach, California
Memorials: Parkinson's Disease Foundation in memory of his sister, Barbara
