Peter J. Carbone, age 96, of Newtown, beloved husband of the late Gloria Borgognone Carbone, passed away peacefully on Thursday, October 3, 2019 at his home surrounded by his loving family. Born in Bridgeport on June 29, 1923, he was a son of the late Frank and Anna Vendetti Carbone. A proud veteran of the U.S. Army, Mr. Carbone had served honorably during World War II. In 1972 Peter founded P.C. Metals, Inc., where he devoted many years of faithful service and built numerous relationships. His faith was of great importance and evident as a longtime parishioner of St. Thomas Aquinas Church, Fairfield. He loved golfing and enjoyed cigars however, his greatest enjoyment was found in the time spent surrounded by his family. A loving and devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother and friend of many, he will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.

He is survived by his loving daughter, Gloriana Carbone Tardie and her husband Ken of Newtown, his cherished grandchildren, Weston and Tanner Tardie, his sisters-in-law, Jacqueline Gagner Carbone and Andrea Stempel Borgognone.
