My deepest sympathy at the loss of your beloved husband. Ann, although it's been some years since I saw you and Pete, I recall how gracious and friendly both of you always were toward me whenever we'd run into each other at wine tastings. And, that friendliness seems to have been infused into all of your children, too. You taught them well.

Dear Friends, We just learned today of your loss and are heartbroken to learn of the passing of your wonderful husband, father and grandfather. We are sorry that we learned of the arrangements too late to offer our support in-person. May your faith and warm memories provide you with some comfort during this sad time. He left an incredible legacy - his family and friends. Thinking of you and keeping you in our prayers, Anna, Rudi & Justine Rozenich and Lucija and John Vucicevic

Petes huge smile and friendly manner was what first kept me coming back to Petes store in Worth. As I met all the members of his wonderful family, I felt like more of a friend than a customer. The clan is some of the hardest working people I know, and he will be so proud to know that he and his wife have instilled that great legacy in their children. Proud to have known him, sad that I will miss him. My deepest sympathy from my family to yours. Much love, Deb Albrecht
