Pete seemed to always have a friendly smile from the days we were in college together. He seemed to keep it even through some lousy Ole Miss football seasons.

I have known Pete for 22 years. I worked with him at ADT and Interface. Pete was such a bright light. Great sense of humor. Kind and courteous. He was a good man. We will miss him dearly. Prayers to his friends and family.
