Peter Charles Siragusa

September 10, 1955 – October 11, 2022

 

He was not on the list.

Pete Siragusa passed away on Tuesday, the 11th of October, 2022 at Adventist Hospital in Los Angeles, CA of sudden illness. He was born in Boston, MA on September 10, 1955 to Peter and Gloria Siragusa of

Boston, MA. Pete is survived by his siblings of Brighton, MA, his wife Pam of Los Angeles, CA, his two sons Cody and Jordan, his daughter in law Maia and a granddaughter Lula of Chicago, IL. He is also survived by his nieces and nephews. Pete was a professional actor for his adult life and was a character his entire life. His acting career began in earnest at Boston College while pursuing an English major. Ever proud of his education, Pete’s BC class ring can be seen in the movie The Big Lebowski. He would go on to perform across the country on stage, screen and radio. Some of his notable roles were: over 5,000 performances of the play Shear Madness, the show Frasier, the video game Bioshock. Later in life he also became a drug and alcohol counselor with the Salvation Army helping men regain control of their lives. He acquired several mantras in relation to this work, including QTIP: Quit Taking It Personally.

Pete was an avid learner. He was always curious and constantly diving headfirst into a new topic. His interests varied from sports to music to technology. He thought he should be pitching for the Red Sox this year. He loved going to the Hollywood Bowl. When there was a new gadget or tool, Pete would forgo the included “suggestions” and assemble the new gizmo “his way”. He even taught himself how to surf without ever stepping on a surfboard. Pete also valued a hard day’s work. He was often at his happiest having a glass of lemonade while still filthy after having crawled under a house to complete a task. He remodeled homes in Chicago, Los Angeles, and Port Hueneme, installing more than plenty of outlets and making houses into homes. The relationships that Pete made and maintained over his life were many and strong. He stayed in contact with friends and the family of friends for his entire life. Pete loved to share stories and laugh with new friends he would make in line at the bank too. Ever the optimist cheerleader, Pete would be there to just check in at the right time. He loved his wife, his family and friends on both coasts and all the places in between. The family would like to acknowledge and thank the team at Glendale Adventist Hospital Intensive Care Unit (as well as all the other hospitals he “toured”) for their patience and care.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that a donation be made to any addiction center in Pete’s name to honor his commitment to helping others battle addiction.
