Not sure what to say?

Pete and my father worked together at WCMB radio for as long as I could remember, possibly dating to the 1940s. My Dad is Ed K. Smith, Sr. Everyone in our family considered Pete Wambach to be a Saint. Last time I saw him was at my Dad's funeral in 2001.
Pete was the smartest and most interesting man I ever knew.
My sincere condolences to Rita and his entire family.

RITA AND FAMILY: WE ARE VERY SORRY TO HAVE JUST FOUND OUT YESTERDAY (8/5) THAT PETE PASSED AWAY A FEW MONTHS AGO. WE WOULD HAVE BEEN THERE FOR ALL OF YOU HAD WE KNOWN. HE WAS SUCH A WONDERFUL FRIEND AND WILL BE VERY GREATLY MISSED BY ALL. TAKE CARE AND GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU. DIANE, DANNY, & KRISTEN OVERKOTT

This is Mike Hill's sister, Tish. Mike e-mailed this address to me. How much all of these entries must mean to each of you. Can't help but think of Patty while I read these--you know she and your dad are having a great time together.
Loved the pictures that are posted--especially of Pete and Joe--they look so much alike.
Thinking of all of you every day.
Love.
