Peter L.

Tasigiannis

On Tuesday, February 23rd, 2021, Peter "Pantazis" Tasigiannis suddenly passed away. He was a loving father to Joanne and husband John, and Loucas, grandfather to Nicholas and Stella, brother to George and wife Eleni, and uncle to Loukas and wife Michelle, and Janet, cousin, friend and "Corporation" member. He is also survived by his wife Poli.

Peter was born on November 29th, 1948, in Domvraina, Greece to Loukas and Giannoula Tasigiannis. In 1960 at the age of only 12, he left his village of Domvraina for Athens to serve as an apprentice as an iron worker. After serving in the Greek National Army for two years, he immigrated to the United States in 1970, where he reconnected with his family in Jersey City. After the birth of his second child, Peter opened Z's Iron Works in Hoboken, New Jersey, which he later proclaimed as his "hometown". He created a successful business with a relentless work ethic, genuine heart, and way with words. He loved nothing more than to drive around town and yell out to a familiar face. Peter was a humble and generous man who never forgot where he came from. He will be missed by all.

The viewing will be held on Friday, February 26, 2021, at Ascension Greek Orthodox Church, 101 Anderson Avenue, Fairview, NJ 07022, between 11:00 am and 1:00 pm. The funeral service will follow at 1:00 pm.
