In Memory and Honor of Peter LoPilato
Bloomington Parks and Recreation would like to celebrate and remember Peter LoPilato from the Ryder Magazine and Film Series. Peter passed away earlier this year, but his legacy of supporting the arts in Bloomington and his dedication to the Movies in the Parks series will not be forgotten.
For the past 25 years, Peter was instrumental in bringing free movies to our city parks. His passion and commitment allowed countless families and friends to enjoy cinema under the stars, creating cherished memories for all. His efforts have enriched our community and fostered a love for the arts that will continue to inspire us.
Thank you, Peter, for your unwavering support and for bringing joy and culture to Bloomington. Your contributions will live on in the hearts of those who had the pleasure of knowing you and enjoying the fruits of your labor.
Rest in peace, Peter. Your legacy shines brightly in every frame.
