Not sure what to say?

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. Prayers for the family to help get through this time of loss.

Our sympathy to the family. Pete was always a friendly and warm person with wonderful children. Will be missed by many. Jerry and Joyce Simkins, Peru, Il.

Pete was a wonderful man from a great family. We always enjoyed chatting with him at the VFW steak frys or as Lori & Kevin's "substitutes" for the Knowlton family card parties. He was certainly a man who showed incredible pride in his country and veteran duties as well as showing his pride in his family, especially as a young father when I babysat his girls. Even as a young teenager (in the 70's), I could see how much he loved his kids and cared about how well they behaved. It was easy to see...

Our deepest sympathy and our thoughts and prayers go out to the family. Worked with Pete many years at GTE & Verizon and is was a great person. We will miss him. God bless and be with you during this time of your loss.

My deepest condolences to the entire family. Melonie work with me for several years and always spoke highly of her Father. May the word of the lord comfort you during this time of loss.

Pete was a great guy. This picture of him says it all. Big smile and loving the V. He'll be missed for sure.
