I’m terribly sad over Pete’s death, I knew Pete for many years while in the Air National Guard. He came to work every day through the entrance to the base while I was in Security Police and always would stop and talk with me at the main gate. Then I transitioned to the Dining Facility where he always talked about our meals and on deployments during different mobilizations. He and your family will be in my prayers along with other member of the Guard I had a privilege to know.

I remember Pete from the Delaware Air National Guard. I was working (as a civilian) at the Guard, during the Desert Storm Deployment. Pete was always cheerful and very helpful, whenever I needed information. Pete will be greatly missed.

Pistol Pete (Sheet Metal Warrior) was a great man with an outgoing personality. Always ready to step in and help. Always smiling approachable and funny. A tremendous asset to the Delaware Air National Guard’s Fabrication branch. By far the best Sheet metal fabricator on base. Pete you will be missed by all who knew you. Rest in Peace my friend.

I was saddened to hear of Pete’s passing last night and wanted to offer my sincere condolences. I have known Pete since 1994 through the Pulaski Legion Shuffleboard League. His friendship and kindness will be sorely missed. A true gentleman gone too soon.
