Bette, Adam and Amanda, my heart goes out to you in so many ways. My heart hurts, and if I could take away away your pain to give you a sense of normalcy during this hard time, I would. You were always like a second family to me, you always will. I appreciate your love and acceptance you have all shown me. Should you need a shoulder to cry on, a friend to vent to or just someone to sit silently with you, I will be there. Always. I promise. I love you guys with all my being and pray The Lord holds you close during this sad part of your lives.

To the Daley family,
I would like to extend my deepest respect and sympathy. Pete was a wonderful man that I had the pleasure of volunteering with during the "Boot Camp for New Dads" program at Portsmouth Regional Hospital. His passion and enthusiasm for giving youths a positive environment was wonderful. As I got to know Pete better I realized that our paths crossed many times between the people we knew and our experiences in Scouting. I would also bump into him at the Veteran's tents at the Pease Air Shows. He was a good man and his contributions to the community and positive energy will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Pete touch so many through his good works and worked to live his life in accordance with the scout oath and law. One point of the law he was especially good at was cheerful! Pete always had a smile, a joke or a story to share! He will be sorely missed!
