Carolyn, I was so sorry to hear about your Dad. I was looking at all the photos your family had out, and hearing some of the stories you were telling Renee and I... you've got so many great memories to cherish and remember and share with your kids.
Email me when you get the chance and we'll get together for lunch or a cook out.

God bless you Uncle Pete, Aunt Carol and all family. You were a big part of my growing up next door Uncle Pete. I remember riding in your convertible and going for ice cream with Aunt Carol when you started dating and you taking me home when I got a stomach ache. Also, Monday night football and everyone coming down for my wedding here in Florida to Rita. I know you are where you no longer have the pain of this world and can be happy in heaven with Nana and Poppa.
I don't know what else to say except that my wife Rita and son Burke here in Florida are very sad and want to give our prayers and support. I don't know what else to say.
