Hey Uncle Pete-

You weren't really my Uncle, but to me it felt like you were. You and Jason were so close that you were a constant in our lives, he always talked about you and how much you meant to him. I have missed you this past year as we all have and I remember you today and always as the hilarious, caring, great guy that we all knew you to be. I know you are watching over all of us from a peaceful place and that gives me comfort. You are loved and missed daily. Until we meet again,

Kim

I cant describe the pain and anguish I go through every day. I not only lost my uncle, but I lost my best friend...........no my brother. You and I were like pea's and carrots, you were my ace in the hole. I was yours. Anything you needed me to do, it was done, the for me with you. My kids are going to miss you, Collin and Paul are doing the best they can to understand. I cry a lot because they bring you up an awful lot, they talk about you being gone and being in heaven. I can believe I will never get to bother you anymore, a you wont bother me. My whole life you were there for me in so many ways. My heart is broken, it cant be repaired..........your gone. Why? Why didnt you call me when you really needed to, all the senseless conversation and when you needed me the you know I would have been there for you know matter what the circumstances. I love Pete and continue to love and think about my brother on a daily basis. Like I said your gone, my heart is broken, and I am incomplete without you. I love you.

hey dad
i miss you so much, i know lately things were not the best between us but, being your ONLY son we'll always have that bond. Threw the good times (going bowling for 1st time, going to elmwood fest, going to white alps resturant to eat and meet our special guest, going to woodfield shopping, watching cheaters while eating susie Q's and ice cream). I miss when you used to call us late at night and talk for hours. I have our family picture up of you, me, sissybird, nicki coco, and pocahontas, I LOVE that picture. Its right next to the picture of you and me, your only son, Peter Jr. as you used to tell me all the time.
i love you i miss you.
