Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

George and Arthur-I am so sad to hear of Petes passing. I was pleased to meet Pete over 40 years ago when I used to come to Recreational Billiards (We all called it Pete's Place) to place arcade games. I remained friends with Pete all those years. He watched me grow into a man. He saw me as a high school student, as a collage student, as a soldier and as a grown businessman. Through all those years, Pete remained the same, soft spoken man that we all grew to love. I loved talking with him...

George and Arthur,

Sorry to hear about Pete's passing. He was a special person and a true patriot. I stopped by one time a few years ago after I retired from the Police Department in 1997. An evening shift wasn't complete until I would go in his business and set for a few minutes, usually near the end of my shift. He was a pleasure to be around.

Pete was an amazing man and a true representative of Winston-Salem hospitality. I always enjoyed talking to him each and every time I walked into Recreation Billiards. Most people his age (and many years younger) were in bed while he was still socializing with customers and still working. His legacy as a war hero and an entrepreneur can give inspiration to many who hope for the American dream. I will truly miss him, as will several of my friends from various places out of town who only knew...

will miss you pete enjoyed talking with you at recreation billards about your keen observation of life and treating people with dignity and respect rest in peace PETE

We will always love and remember our Petey! I will always cherish my 1 on 1 conversations with Pete while Cayce was working. Pete, you are a legend!

George sorry to hear about your dads passing. I am honored to display my iron work in his place of business. Take care.
