Pete was a great person and a true friend. I did not see him as often as I would have liked. We shared a lot of good times and a million laughs.
I will really miss him.

I am so sorry for your loss. We worked together in the computer department together. He always made me laugh & also has given me the strength in my own battle with cancer. I know he is busy up there catching up with everyone over a game or 2 of golf. RIP Pete.

Pete was a wonderful person who will be greatly missed by all who knew him. Always kind and cheerful, his smiling presence made him welcome wherever he went. In addition to all his other good qualities, he had a real knack for making his grandchildren laugh. Thats a pretty good legacy.

So sorry to hear of Pete's passing. He is also a long time childhood friend to my brother who was always there to lend my brother a helping hand. Whether it was taking my brother to a doctor's appointment or helping him move, Pete never hesitated. He was also a friend to me way back in the day when we hung out in the same crowd for many years. What I remember most about Pete is his smile and always laughing. He was always up for fun and being silly. Boy, did we share SO many laughs. My heart goes out to his family as I know they are heartbroken. Pete, rest well and continue being funny and laughing in heaven. You will be so missed.
