Dad I miss you so much. I will always remember our nights of Dominos pizza and Freddy Krueger together. As I got older you shared the same with Gabriella who has mentioned you every day and keeps saying how she can't wait to see you and our dogs again.

I will never forget you and the good times we had together. I have so many memories of the things we did.

I love you!!

My condolences to the Petri family. May you find peace during this most difficult time. My thoughts and prayers are with you! Mollie Torres Cooper and Family

To the Petri Family,
Our deepest condolences on your loss. John was loved and will be missed by many. May the memories you shared with him comfort you.

To my sister Cheryl,
I know this is a difficult time for you and you have my deepest sympathy. John made you laugh, he held your hand, he put a ring on your finger and he promised to love you forever. He didn't break his promise; he loved you until the very last moment. He would have wished to grow old with you if given the chance. Cherish the memories of your life together! They will comfort you as time passes. His smile will always be illuminated when you think of him and you'll...
