I am so sorry to learn of pete's death. We worked together in night narcotics. He was a great trial partner; very giving, caring, and lots of fun. It was a pleasure coming to work every day being greeted by a sly smile and someone willing to take on the difficult work of the courtroom. He will be greatly missed. My prayers and thoughts go out to all who loved him.
