Love and already miss you dearly Dad, Grandpa Chippy, The Chief!

My condolences to Karen and the family. It was always a pleasure to deal with Chief Pete on court and law enforcement issues, but even more pleasant to interact with him on a social basis in the many encounters we had. He had a great and very positive impact on Ceres and Stanislaus County.
Al Girolami, retired Stanislaus County Judge

I never saw a day go by without a smile on the face of this really good man. Pete was my friend, as trustworthy a person I have ever known, and he was just a genuinely good guy. We kept in touch after my time working with him for the City of Ceres and his upbeat perspective on life was contagious. He was a professional chief of police through and through, and I will miss his happiness and good nature.
