It has been many years since I have seen Pete as I have not lived in the Chicago area since 1968 and haven't been there since 1998, but I know Pete was a good man and a great companion and friend to my sister, Rita.

To have known him, was to enjoy Life with him...A Great Friend, a true wit, and a huge heart, generous and always assisting others. Family oriented - and attentive to all those he loved so much... Many venues,Trade Construction Unions, Trade School Apprentice and Journeymen Training; Several Team Sports, trips, Match Play and a great Golf Group over 40+years. It was an Honor to be associated and share so many Fun activities with him. We were All Blessed.... Leon Rinehart, Midlothian, IL

You could tell the minute Pete walked in the building at 1400 West Washington. He was a good guy who cared deeply about the apprentice program and all the plumbers he helped train. He always had advice for you even if you didn't want it. Everyone that got to know him will miss him. Dan McLaughlin

Paul and I will miss you very much. Your contagious laughter and smile warmed everyone who knew you. No one could bring life into a room like you could or tell the stories with great gusto like you. Inside all that laughter was a deeply devoted father and union man who cared deeply for those he loved and respected. You will be missed my friend and never forgotten. All our love and rest in peace.
