Pee Wee Aldini
December 07, 2014
Pee Wee, 85, passed away Sunday, December 7, 2014. He was born November 3, 1929 in Des Moines, Iowa to Luigi and Palmina Aldini. He was perceived as a big gruff man, but was actually a good-hearted teddy bear. He retired from SuperValu in 1992 after 39 years. He served in the Army during the Korean War and liked to eat, watch TV, and sit out on the patio. Pee Wee was a NASCAR fan and enjoyed the Knoxville races.
Pee Wee is survived by his wife of 60 years, Frances; children, Bill (Tammy) Aldini, Dave Aldini (Lois Robbins), Theresa (Skip) Hansen, and Jodi Aldini; ten grandchildren; 21 great-grandchildren; one great-great-grandchild; and his brother, Louis Aldini. He was preceded in death by his parents, three sisters, and three brothers.
There will be a graveside service held at Laurel Hill Cemetery, Wednesday, December 10, 2014 at 2:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions are suggested to the Food Bank of Iowa or the American Cancer Society.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I have such fond memories of the time I spent with Pee Wee and Frannie as a child. I can still hear his booming voice telling me "little girl, I need some more coffee" . I always remember watching the three stooges with him. You're all in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

I just have to share, the 1st time I met PeeWee was over the phone. I thought I had died when the conversation started. He was using 1 of those "squawk boxes" "electronic larynx". My Dad had died when Jo was 4 months old and his last 5 years he had used one too. Jo had never mention this to me. And I guess she didn't know my Dad had 1. Anyway I had to pinch myself to make sure I was still breathing. He was a very kind man. I know Jo enjoyed her time at the Aldinis. Thanks for sharing him with us.

I spent a lot of time at the Aldini house when I was young. Fran and Pee Wee always made me feel at home. Pee Wee was larger than life. He was a great man with a wonderful sense of humor. He will be missed.
RIP.
