Dear Tina , Denise and family,
I was looking up Pete's zip code for a Christmas card and discovered his obituary. Jim, my brothers and I are saddened by this news. We have fond memories of Pete and Nancy spending weekends with mom and dad or hearing about their trips. I hope Nancy, mom and dad were at heaven's gate to greet him. He was a wonderful man and was like an uncle to us. ((Hugs!))

I have many memories of running into his store as a kid to buy a gumball. He was a great neighbor, great friend of the family and all around great man. He will be missed.
