PRICE--Our loving father, grandfather, and great-grandfather Lawrence "Larry" Dominic Peretti, peacefully returned to his Heavenly Father Monday, October 11, 1999 in the warmth of the afternoon sunshine while surrounded by his family.Larry was born April 19, 1915 in Salt Lake City, Utah to Antonio and Santina Clerico Peretti. Married his sweetheart Afton Boyack, December 31, 1940 in Price, Utah where they spent over 50 wonderful years raising their three children. Afton died August 31, 1995.
Larry was a very hard worker beginning his career in the CC Camps in the Uintah Basin and Blanding. He spent the next 42 years as a mechanic at the Hiawatha Tipple where he enjoyed all that he worked with. He was an active member of the U.M.W.A. Hiawatha Local #6363 where he served as shop steward. Larry spent many hours passing on his extraordinary carpentry and mechanical skills while working beside his son, sons-in-law, grandsons and grandsons-in-law.
Next to his family, Larry had two passions, fishing and baseball. He spent most of his free time at the lakes of Scofield, Otter Creek and Ferron. He was an avid fisherman and fly tier who especially like catching fish on flies he had tied. He leaves his family many wonderful memories of the times they spent together in the mountains. Larry also loved baseball, especially the New York Yankees. He very much enjoyed the time he spent collecting baseball cards and going to the card shows. Larry gave unto this family the gift which are most precious, his love and his time. He spent all his life showing them how important each were to him, especially his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. And yes grandpa, we will all plant our garlic by the dark of the moon.
Survived by: two daughters, one son and their spouses, Patsy and Stan Jonsson, Simi Valley, CA., Sharon and Jim Carroll, Price, UT., Mick and Chris Peretti, Paonia, CO.; sister Perena Schiro, Klamath Falls, OR. Also survived by is eight loving grandchildren, five great-grandchildren and a neighborhood full of the most wonderful neighbors and a community of friends.
We are grateful to our Heavenly Father that we can vision the wonderful reunion Grandpa is having in heaven with his loving wife, parents, sister Mary O'Berto, brother Johnnie, brother-in-law Vince Schiro and great-granddaughter Mikki Lynn.
