Petru Taku

Petru Taku passed away Thursday at Mercy Medical Center in Springfield in the presence of his wife, daughter, and son. He was born in Moldova on September 14, 1954 to the late Antonia (Dron) and Gavril Taku. He came to Westfield in 2002 and lived most of his life in Agawam. Petru loved the Lord and was a member of the Moldovan Baptist Church in Agawam. He enjoyed spending time with family and fishing. He especially loved spending time with his grandkids who he could often make laugh. Petru was a hard working man and had built contraptions of different sorts that were one of the kind… He will be deeply missed but he is home with the Lord.
