Pete was a beloved father, grandfather and brother. He was a hardworking, kind and generous man who put the needs of others before his own. You never met a person with a bigger heart. His laughter was infectious and was with him until the very end.

He also had fun hobbies such as snorkeling, fishing, building model planes, bowling and golfing. He enjoyed watching both of his children participate in football, baseball, softball and cheerleading. For many years he was an active coach for the Estero Mustang Pop Warner Organization and coached his son's team at San Carlos Little League. He was previously married to Nannette Delago Westfall from 1983-2004.
Pete was a devout catholic and kept his faith with him through his works and family. Pete is survived by his daughter, Danielle Hanna and her spouse, David and their children, Ezra, Charlie and Jax; his son, Pierre Delago, III and his spouse, Jennifer. He also leaves behind brothers, Jack Delago and his spouse, Susan, Al Delago and his spouse, Barb and Steve Delago.
