Shirley, I will always remember Uncle Pete's love of music and gardening he had a green thumb his vegetables flourished and his flowers were gorgeous he took great pride in all he did. His love of music that he shared with all of us I remember many times I would listen to him and Hobo play and I tried to sing with them though I never got to Nashville these are memories I will never forget. May God be with you and you find comfort in your memories. We love you and if theres anything we can do let us know.
