Not sure what to say?

I will miss Mr. Pete so much. I remember when I first started working at the Ronald McDonald House I would come to work in the morning and most mornings he was outside sweeping. I would come in and I could smell breakfast cooking that Minnie Margaret was preparing for Pete when he got off duty. They made it feel so much like home. Pete had such a dear heart and loved talking about the Lord. I will miss him dearly, but I am comforted knowing that he is praising our Savior and look...

Uncle Irving loved life and lived it to the fullest. He was a joy to know. We will miss him but know he is happy singing to the Lord in person. God's blessings.

Uncle Irving was such a blessing to our family for so many generations. He leaves a legacy for all to embrace.

I miss laughing and joking with Mr. Pete. He was such a dear man with a huge heart. I always knew Mr. Pete would be sitting at the front desk at the Ronald McDonald House when I came into work on Saturdays. I am comforted knowing that Pete has a new body free of pain and illness and that I will see him again some day. God's blessings to his family.

If you knew Pete, you either loved him or you loved him. What a wonderful, intelligent, joyful and spiritual man Pete was. We were blessed to have him become part of our family and he was a great companion for my grandmother. We will miss him greatly and he will always be in our thoughts and prayers. We love you so much, Pete.
See you later.

I will remember Uncle Pete most for his humor, his compassion, his determination, his conviction, and his extraordinary ability to relate to every generation. He was a wonderful great uncle and friend! I love you Uncle Pete!

He was such a big part of our lives and will always be remembered for his quick wit and his smiling personality. We love you Uncle Irving!

Mr Pete was an angel here on earth and now has his wings in heaven.

I will miss relieving his smiling face at Ronald McDonald House on Saturday.
