I just heard of Pete's passing and wanted to let you know that the family is in my thoughts and prayers. I met Pete about 15 years ago when he lived in Old Providence and I lived right around the corner off Lynbridge. We shared some special times and we lost touch we he moved North of the city. I saw him a few years ago and he was welcomed back with open arms. Pete had such a positive outlook and his sense of humor was unsurpassed only by the roar of his laughter. He will be missed and I am truly sorry for your loss.

Mrs. Wieczorek, Paula, Luke (and all of Pete's family),
I was so sorry to hear that Pete passed away. We have a lot of great memories from grade school and high school (before he moved to NC). Whenever we would talk (reminisce) he'd always make me laugh. I'll miss him, and I know a lot of his friends in Rockford share these sentiments.

Donna I don't know if you will remember me or not, but I think of you often and our time together at Barber-Colman. I was sorry to see that you lost your son at such an early age. I know how it feels as I lost my son Thomas at age 47. May the Lord hold you up and sustain you at this time.
