ALBANY - Peter Berghela, 58 of Albany entered into eternal rest on Monday, December 21, 2020 unexpectedly.
Peter was born and lived in Albany all his life. He graduated from Albany High School and went on to study at SUNY at Albany and earned a degree in Sociology which he used to work with the physically and intellectually disabled for over thirty years.
He was a kind, giving, hardworking, soft-spoken man. He truly enjoyed gardening and caring for his vehicles especially washing his car. He cherished the time he spent taking trips to Disneyworld and Niagara Falls with his wife and friends.
