Peter James Gianatiempo

Peter James Gianatiempo, 61, of Cortlandt Manor, New York, passed away on September 21, 2025. Born on August 29, 1964, Pete grew up in Woodside, New York. He was predeceased by his parents, Peter S. Gianatiempo and Frances Gianatiempo, and sister, Laura Schlamp.
Pete was an extraordinarily charitable man. To know Pete was to know someone who would be at your side immediately when in need, no matter the situation. His journey on earth was one marked by passion. All who knew him knew he “wore his heart on his sleeve” and was a passionate man. That passion poured out into all he did, NYPD detective, hockey and soccer coach/player, husband, father, and friend.
Pete graduated from Monsignor McClancy High School. Pete became one of NY’s Finest in 1989, and to him, it was the “greatest job in the world,” proudly following in the footsteps of his father. Pete worked hard and proved it to his superiors and received several specialized assignments before finally being assigned to the Organized Crime Control Bureau, where he spent 19 years of his 26-year career. He proudly worked as an undercover officer in narcotics, was a first responder to the 9/11 attack on the WTC, and along the way, amassed a multitude of medals throughout his journey. He was incredibly proud of his service and had a true love for his job and fellow officers. He was a true example of someone who would “bleed blue.”
Pete coached soccer for both his daughter and son, Nicole and Petey, teaching and sharing with them and their friends the love and passion for the sport. He then coached his son’s hockey team and did the same with his passion for hockey.
After his retirement in 2015, Pete was able to spend more time doing things he loved. He worked for the SPCA of Westchester, Humane Law Enforcement Division, where he often said he acted as a voice for animals who otherwise had none. Afterward, he worked as the hockey director at Ice Time Sports. Eventually, he took a position with the New York Jr. Rangers program, traveling to local rinks as far as Saugerties, sharing the passion with children of all ages, teaching people who wanted to “try” hockey, and creating true hockey players who shared the same passion for the game. Finally, he was a coach for both the Danbury Hatricks girls program and the Adaptive Hockey Program.
Calling himself “Coach” to all these players over the years brought him great pride, and he always told everyone how they “left a fingerprint on his heart.” One of Pete’s tattoos read, “Hockey is not just a game, it is a way of life,” and for him, there were no truer words.
He enjoyed fishing with his friends on his boat, bow hunting, and playing adult league hockey with the Mahopac Machine, where he made an impact on the ice, on the bench, and in the locker room. You knew Pete was playing because you smelled his Obsession cologne before he even entered the arena.
If he had your phone number, you know he loved to “chat” on the phone for hours, catching up and checking in on everyone. He loved telling stories and making people laugh and giving his advice. He enjoyed dinners at home and loved when his family was together, even if it was sitting at snack trays watching TV.
We ask that you remember him not for how his life ended, but how he lived, and the impression he had on those who were blessed with knowing him, whether it was a moment crossing paths or knowing him as a family member, colleague, or friend.
Pete is survived by his wife Dawn, daughter Nicole, son Petey, and soon-to-be son-in-law Liam. Pete has been called by God to his eternal resting place, and may he go in peace.
Visitation was held at Joseph F. Nardone Funeral Home on Monday, September 29, 2025. A funeral mass was held at the Church of the Holy Spirit on Tuesday, September 30, 2025. Interment followed at Assumption Cemetery.
