Dear Jean, Dag, Renee and family:
Uncle Peto was a special man. Even if I hadn't seen everyone in several years I always remembered our trips to Newport News or your trips to Ohio. Peto always had a good joke to tell or our trips to you always had a trip or something to do. I remember him taking us by to see the JFK batleship in dry docks and crabbing in the bay. he would love to play with Yankee. My deepest sympathy to you all and maybe we will see each other sooner then later, God Bless You all and Peto, Love Kevin and Cathy Conley

Pete will be missed and our deepest sympathy goes to his family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

Conley Family, our prayers are with you. Jean, I think maybe you remember me from the FAA. It was a pleasure working with Pete while he was assigned to the FAA at Newport News Airport. He would often talk about Ohio. He had a lot of tales to talk about from the past. Enjoyed being with him while he was there. May the Lord bless you and your family.
