My mom's twin brother and someone so very special to all of us. His heart was huge and wisdom to match. We all turned to him for some sort of advice and he was always 'there'. We miss you, Uncle Pete. You are now with the only other two people you cherished beside your family here...your mom and dad. Give my mom a hug from us.

I always admired you for your wisdom in your work and in life. You created a wonderful balance between work and your time at the ranch. You and Aunt Pat always welcomed all of us with love, grace and humor. I will always admire and appreciate you:)

I remember when I was just a child, you were "larger than life" to me and I used to tell Mom that I wanted to marry Uncle Peter someday. ;) As I grew up, you were still larger than life in my mind. You will be ever so missed by your family and all that had the honor of knowing you. While the living family have their reunion I know you are having one with my Mom and Dad and the rest of your family that has passed. Fly with the angels Uncle Peter.

Love to you...
