Pete was one of my close friends as a teenager. A more likeable, friendly, caring guy has never lived. I was looking to get back in touch with him and am so sad to hear that I will never have the opportunity to do so. My thoughts and prayers will be with your family, especially this holiday season.

Lydia and Mke as said when we talked on Monday nothing could be worse than losing a child (besides losing a spouse.) They are
supposed to outlive us. This quote was sent to me by a friend: ":Those whom we have loved and lost never really leave us. They are with us wherever we are" Flavia God bless all of you. Tom and Louise

Pete, What can I say... From Jr. Highschool to Highschool and the Hellwagon to later raising a little hell while working together at Worldcom.... I honestly have to say that I cannot help but just shake my head and smile. Thankyou for the memories, it has truly been an honor! Blue Skies my friend!

My sincerest condolences to your family.
