Peg – My heart is with you during this difficult time. Pete was such a loving, caring person. Always greeted by a hug and kiss. I knew the first time I met both of you that I was part of your circle. Such an honor. I will miss him so much. With Deepest Sympathy, Love Robin

I remember Pete from long ago when we were both working at the old re-bar steel outfit “Taylor-Davis”. Pete only worked there for a short while, but he made an impression on all of us. He knew how to laugh, but he could be serious whenever the situation required it. He quickly took on a supervisory position and gained the respect of us all. If you had a problem at work, Pete was the first person that everyone went to see. Pete believed that the best way to get a job done was to motivate rather than to intimidate. And that was the sign of a true leader.
My sincere sympathies to Pete’s family and the many friends who benefited so very much by his time in this world. May you rest in peace my dear old friend. And thank you for giving me the privilege of having known you…
