Pete and I worked together in Plymouth, NC in the early/mid-70's. It was easy to see even then that he would become the business leader he became. Pete, Ada Lee and the two kids were wonderful friends and neighbors. Godspeed, Pete, and please watch over Ada Lee, Elizabeth and Alston as they face the healing process.

He was the best leader that I ever had the privilege to work for. You had to get past his gruff exterior to realize what a big heart was inside.

A legend and an inspiration.
Treated everyone with respect.
Pushed to drive change and a positive impact.
I was fortunate to have learned from him while in meetings or gatherings as he was pushing us to all be better.
His legacy lives through his family.

Ada Lee and family,
Pete was and is an icon for me.
Even though it it has been 20 years since I retired from GP your friendship and caring I have never forgotten.
Ada Lee, I have never forgotten you visiting the hospital when my son JB was injured and fighting for his life shortly after we moved to Atlanta.
Now it is time to remember Pete for all the many great and good things he did.
He has left a legacy that we can all be proud of.
God Bless you all,
