In Memoriam: Peter J. Hitsous

Hitsous

Lifelong Staten Island, NY, resident Peter J. Hitsous, who had a distinguished career with Allstar Elevator and Otis, from which he retired, passed away on March 12 at age 70. He was known for his ability to fix anything, from elevators to car parts, and was always willing to lend a hand to friends and family. He was reliable, punctual and always respectful toward others, regardless of their position. Hitsous was pre-deceased by his wife of 27 years, Theresa. Survivors include his children, Kristen and Michael, and his cherished granddaughter, Theresa. A man of traditional values and honor, Hitsous belived in hard work, sacrifice for the good of others and the importance of keeping one’s word. He sought to deliver perfection in any task he undertook, and always presented himself well, whether in his green Otis uniform or a new tuxedo. “May his love and wisdom live on in all who were fortunate enough to know him,” his obituary stated.
