Diane and Family,Please accept our heartfelt regrets on Petes passing. We will never forget the good times we had in the Keys each year that we went down there and the rides and companionship we enjoyed even when it was just Pete working on my Harley. He was the BEST. Sorry we lost contact.

Though at the fork in the road you choose left and I went right the memories of our activities together still shine bright. The hunting trip in upstate New York, the firematic service and all its functions, and the wonderful parties and get togethers we shared will never be forgotten, including the cheese fondue, which I still have heartburn from.

To Diane and all Pete’s family our hearts and prayers are with you at this time of your loss and always.

To Pete, go with God my friend, you earned the right.

To Diane and family,

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Pete was indeed a very special person, and I am sure he will be missed by many. I have many fond memories of him, the hot-rods, the boats, all the parties. In all these memories, he is laughing, smiling, cracking jokes.

My deepest condolences to your family at this difficult time.

Diane and family.

I was very saddened today, when I read that your "Pete" had passed away. In my mind Pete was always a great guy, my thoughts and recollections of him and the both of you are good ones. It is amazing, that twenty five years have gone by since the two of you were married. My guess is, that those were twenty five wonderful years for you both. Those warm memories, will have to carry you forward, until you are with him again.

In September, just four months ago, I also lost my soulmate of the past sixteen years. It was the horror of breast cancer. Having to return to God, the love of my life, my wife Theresa,"TEE", I know what you are going through at this time. The tremendous loss you have suffered, can not be expressed in words.

Diane, all I can say, is that whatever faith you have, will have to carry you forward. Pete is irreplaceable, but you are fortunate, that you have children and grand children to help sustain you through this sadness and tragedy.

Diane, my thoughts and prayers are with you and the family at this time. I pray that God will ease your pain.

Warmest regards,

Joe Keating
