Many times on this farm something sparks a memory of Pete or Jim or both of them. It brings a smile to my face. We are all lucky to have known Pete.

A year is so long but yet passes so quickly. Memories last forever. I was at Ocean Pines this weekend and thought of Pete. So many great memories to hang onto. So many fun times. He will always be remembered fondly.

Our Pete. Out of his pain and onto better things. Leaving behind his loved ones to celebrate his wonderful life and know he is hanging out with the other Marines now and probably whooping it up. I know where all these storms are coming from! Pete was always so kind to our family and a good friend to Jim. Salt of the earth men like him are harder and harder to find. May he rest in peace and the family find tranquility.
