IN LOVING MEMORY

Peter J. Gottardi

Mar 30 1941 - Jun 10 2020

Peter J. Gottardi of Murphy, Texas passed away June 10, 2020, at the age of 79 years.  Jim was born March 30, 1941 to Elizabeth and Peter Gottardi in Yatesboro, Pennsylvania. He attended Indiana University of Pennsylvania and graduated with a Bachelor’s, then a Master’s degree in Math. He married his wife, Janet on May 29, 1965. Jim began his career as a teacher, but soon found his true calling in Information Technology. His IT career lasted over 35 years and included working for IBM, Phillips 66, and the Italian oil company AGIP.  Jim retired early, at the age of 57, which allowed him to spend more time on his passions: family, golfing, boating, fishing, hosting get-togethers at his lake house, and traveling.

He is survived by his children, Jim and his wife Vicki, and their three children Anna, David, and Claire of Austin, Texas; Julie and her husband Greg, and their three sons, Scott, Matt, and Tommy of Murphy, Texas; and Jerry of Breaux Bridge, Louisiana.  Jim is also survived by three siblings, and numerous nieces and nephews, among other relatives.

Jim was preceded in death by his loving wife, Janet.

At this time a small memorial mass is being planned, however due to COVID-19, details have yet to be determined.
