My parents, now deceased, loved going to Mr. Burger on 44th SE. They knew everyone by name. My brother and his wife were in Florida and saw a man wearing a Mr. Burger hat. It was Peter. They relayed my parents´ wonderful experiences at Mr. Burger and took of picture with Peter and his wife. What a wonderful legacy!

I was nine when Pete and Maria opened Mr. Burger on Lake Michigan Drive in 1967. Mom and I were regulars during her lifetime, and I´ve continued the tradition as a frequent customer ever since.

He was a good man who touched many lives, and his place brought Mom and I closer. I will always remember Pete. Deepest condolences to Maria and all of...

I remember my aunt and uncle being their very first customer. After they weren´t able to drive they brought them soup and lunches. Mr. Burger is one of our favorite restaurants and they always treat you like family. Our kids went to Union high school with Jimmy. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family.

I had the privilege of working for Pete for almost 16 years at the 44th and Kalamazoo store. Loved my job and customers. After I retired, I would stop in to see everyone, occasionally I would see Pete and give him a hug. He was always happy to see me. He will always be remembered and missed.
