I will always remember Pete. He coached my son Tom in hockey, and made me a very excited and
happy hockey fan. He's resting now.

Deepest sympathies to Ruth, Jeff, Mark, David and family. Many happy memories growing up with our neighbors, friends. One funny memory, locking Debbie out of the house while she was baby sitting and she went to the Sandoras, remember Pete talking to me through the door trying to get me to open it!! One of many memories! Please know that all of you are in our thoughts and prayers!

Pete was a dear friend and I've known the Sandora family my entire life. I always enjoyed every minute I've ever spent with him.....church, hockey, Red Wing games, etc..etc..
