Peter "Petros" Voyiatzis

Petros Voyiatzis, a beloved husband, father, son, and friend, passed away on October 22, 2024, at the age of 68. He was a man whose life was characterized by kindness, humor, and an unwavering optimism that touched all who knew him. Born on November 5, 1956, to Ioannis Voyiatzis and Chrysoula (Athanasiadis) Voyiatzis, Petros grew up to embody the values of love, family, and friendship that were instilled in him from a young age.

Petros was a family man who cherished his wife, Ronna (DiRusso), and their three children, John, Alex, and Erica. His role as a father was one he took great pride in, and his guidance and support helped shape his children into the wonderful people they are today. He taught them honesty, kindness, and patience.

Those who knew Petros will recall his spirit and the positive atmosphere he brought with him. His sense of humor was infectious, and he had a unique ability to lift the spirits of those around him. He was a man loved by so many, and always made time for his friends. Petros had a talent for making everyone feel welcome and valued, and his absence will leave a void in the many lives he touched.

He will be remembered as a great father and friend who shared his joy of fishing and playing poker with loved ones; making memories and stories that his children and friends will have forever. After winning his friends’ money, he was often kind enough to return it later. Most important to him was the time spent with his friends and family during these activities, and we will remember these times with him fondly.

As we say goodbye to Petros, we celebrate the legacy of a man who truly made the world a brighter place. His memory will forever be cherished in the hearts of his family, friends, and all who had the pleasure of experiencing his kindness and laughter.

A graveside service will be held on Monday, October 28 at 11:00 A.M. at St. Leo Cemetery, Leominster.
