I am so sorry for your loss. I am thankful that I got to talk to Pete a few months ago.Your mom and dad have been in my life since I was just a new born baby. That's a very long long time. My son Joe still remembers your dad's red truck and when your mom was baby setting him your dad would come home from work and take him for a ride around the block. That's all Joe talked about was,"Pete's red truck." I pray that all of your hearts heal and you will remember the good times with a smile on your face.Know that your dad is in a better place and in pain no more. Love to all of you, Ann Dock
