Sorry to hear of Pete's passing. I worked with him for 10 years in the '60s at Kimble Glass, Glass Pipe Dept.
He was a great guy to work with.
50 yrs. ago this Sept . Pete drove our wedding car and we laughed the whole time, what a character.
I'm sure he will be sorely missed by family and friends , I have fond memories of the time I spent with him.
God bless Pete.

Pete was cool as well as great man. Truly a figure on the OC beach. I enjoyed the little time I had talking with him. He will be missed by myself as many others. My prayers are with Pete's family as he was blessed a great family. His Daughter JoAnne,Granddaughters Kristen and Nicole I consider my friends.
May prayers and memories help in this time of sorrow. Also be greatful that you had a Man like Petie. He was truly one of a kind and OC and the world is a better place for having him here.
