To the family and friends of "Pete". Our sincere prayers go out to you. Not only was Brother Kershaw a God fearing man. He was a former coworker at the GM/Delphi west side plant. I used to remind him, after he retired, about working on the "wheel" in door-frames. He always told me he could still handle it. And we would laugh about it.

Kershaw as I always called him was so much fun to be around at the motorcycle clubs and work. I met him back during the Magnum Force days in t he early 80's. He had a great sense of humor and always like to tease "Bo (his dear friend) and Moe" as we were known. He will be sadly missed by all.

We are very sorry for your loss.
