I have great memories of Pete, the Amazon and fun on the water in New London. My memory is always with Pete and his ear-to ear, Cheshire cat smile.
Though he leaves us way too young, he has left me with a warm, easy going memory of a great guy.
My regards and sympathy to his family and all who share the sadness of Pete's passing.
God Bless Pete.

I will never forget the time that my cousin and I rode horses from a Waterford farm to the New London marina at 2AM to visit Peter on the Amazon. I didn’t see...
