Peter was a lifelong resident of the Chicago area and was a proud graduate of DePaul University. After earning his MBA from the University of Illinois, Peter ran his own accounting firm. He was highly committed to his work, staying active in the business right up until the time of his passing.

He was very close to his sons, Jim and Paul, and their wives, Denise and Jacqueline, who were like daughters to him.

My heart felt condolences to the Loiacono Family. May Pete's memories live on within your hearts. Peace, Love, Strength and comfort.
So sad to hear that I won’t be seeing my Superman in the church every morning but I know God has you in His keeping! You fought well and God be glorified in your life! Prayers of comfort to the bereaved family! We will miss you Peter!
Donna and I will likely not be able to attend the service at DeFiore today, so please allow us to express our condolences here. I came to know Peter as our friend and neighbor, and enjoyed conversations with him during our N25 Men's Breakfasts and other social events. I found him to be always friendly, always a gentleman, and always engaging. Our sincere condolences to Sara and the family. May faith, family, and friends sustain you during this difficult time.
My apologies, work didn't allow me to attend the services. I will always look at Peter's friendship as from God, as it was our common faith that opened the door. He will be missed, but let's all carry on some part of his positive impact.
