The short time that I knew Uncle Pete was a blessed time. He liked to make jokes and had me laughing each time that I saw him. It was always a pleasure visiting him the few times that I was blessed with the opportunity. Uncle Pete will be missed by all.

I will never forget Mr. Pete known to me and my fellow truck drivers as "Snake". That name never fit him. He was always making jokes and picking on my ex husband but Pete was a good man. I will truly miss him. My prayers and sympathies to the family.
