My wife Claudie and I met Pete about 10 years ago through his friends Jivka and Peter our neighbors. As Pete and I were only a month difference in age we became friends from the beginning and spent many an afternoon drinking coffee and munching down on chocolate cookies while reminising on our past lives. With pete's passing it has left a void in our lives which we now fill with memories of good times together. Rest in piece young fella we all miss you.
