Uncle Pete was a very good uncle! He never treated you different from anyone else. He always loved you unconditionally and when you needed to be able to be put in your place he knew how to do it without making you feel like you were stupid. He would do anything for you that he could, he was an honorable man. I've known him all my life he was the best uncle anyone could ever ask for. If you ever needed help he would give you the shirt off his back if he could to help but if he knew that you...

Pete was a very good man! He loved and cared deeply for his family. He raised four wonderful children. I never heard Pete say anything negative about anybody. May God bless all his family during this difficult time. You will be sorely missed Pete!!
