Pete was a kind, caring and intelligent man who made friends everywhere he went. His honest, no nonsense, goodly ways are all too rare. Our loss is heaven's gain, and I'll miss our visits.

What a guy! Pete and Betty painted our home upstairs and down, using dreaded dark colors requiring multiple coats. Pete's high standards are evident in the beauty of our remodeled home. Thank you Pete and Betty.
