Just returned from Pete's wake. A wonderful memorial to Pete for all of his friends (and there were a lot people that I didn't see in 15 years) that paid honor to Pete for touching our lives. Gifted hockey player and unselfish describes him on and off the ice. I'll always remember his kindness to laugh at my jokes. Kaliniecta Patriotee, F'haristo

We were acquaintances of Peter, as he and his father were good friends of my relatives, Georgia and Nick Pasalis. He truly had enthusiasm for sports and he was a very energetic and engaging young man.

Our condolences to his dear family and friends. Our prayers are with you.

Pete...what a wonderful husband, father and son you were. Then came Pauline...what a beautiful and perfect person you chose for a wife and now mother. What sadness it brings them to have lost you so soon. We share that grief with them and the many people who were lucky to have met you. May God watch over them and give them strength for eternity. Our deepest sympathy to the entire family.

Peter, you were fun to be around and you never forgot who your friends were. I remember the day I met you and you encouraged me to get back into the game, (hockey) I did and it opened a door of many more & new acquaintances that are real friends as of today. The one thing that comes to my mind as a remembrance is how I always teased you on myself using the word ‘marbles’ and it just annoyed you. LOL…It’s a shame this day came and you will be missed, rest in eternal peace…friend.
