Oh My, This is a sad find for me. I was honored to teach him piano for a number of years. Pete was a WONDERFUL student and pianist. I hope he's playing the jazz standards he loved so much for the universe to enjoy.

There is no one that can replace Peter. He is one of the most unique and precious individuals that walked this earth! It has been four years but it the four feels like forever. In my mind I can still hear his robust laughter and the loud and life of any happy occasion. I wouldn't be surprised if Peter is telling God a joke and making even God laugh. Oh, no! What if it is the gorilla joke! There are so many memories I will keep locked in a special place in my mind and heart. I love you, Pete!

One year today since you left...I don't know where all the time has gone, But not one day has gone by that I haven't thought of you. You would have turned 62 today..Planned your retirement for this month, and was going to give Piano Lessons, So many dreams we had...I Pray you are at Peace, and I hope you know how loved you were by me and your family...RIP Pete....xoxoxo

May the angels protect you
Trouble neglect you
And heaven accept you when its time to go home
May you always have plenty
Your glass never empty
And know in your belly
You're never alone

May your tears come from laughing
You find friends worth having
With every year passing
They mean more than gold
May you win but stay humble
Smile more than grumble
And know when you stumble
You're never alone

Never alone
Never alone
I'll be in every beat of your heart
When you face the unknown
Wherever you fly
This isn't goodbye
My love will follow you, stay with you
Baby, you're never alone

Well I have to be honest
As much as I wanted
I'm not gonna promise the cold winds won't blow
So when hard times have found you
And your fears surround you
Wrap my love around you
You're never alone

Never alone
Never alone
I'll be in every beat of your heart
When you face the unknown
Wherever you fly
This isn't goodbye
My love will follow you, stay with you
Baby, you're never alone

May the angels protect you
Trouble neglect you
And heaven accept you when its time to go home
And when hard times have found you
And your fear surrounds you
Wrap my love around you
You're never alone

Never alone
Never alone
I'll be in every beat of your heart
When you face the unknown
Wherever you fly
This isn't goodbye
My love will follow you, stay with you
Baby, you're never alone

My love will follow you, stay with you
Baby, you're never alone

My heartfelt condolences to Petes Mother, Sister and his Brothers, and extended family members. I am in shock having found this, and no one contacted me. Pete meant the World to me, and we cared deeply for one another. When you left Pete...you took my heart with you...*tears*
