Peter Edward Dates

Pete and I became close friends while serving together on the fire department. We were together for each others weddings, our childrens christenings and watching together as each of our children grew up. We were there for each other thru the good times as well as for the difficult and trying ones. Peter went out of his way to help whenever he saw that I needed it, often spending many days helping me instead of being home with his family. I was honored to be able to return the favor whenever...

Dear Mary Elizabeth I am so sorry for your loss. you were always such a sweet quiet girl. I'm sure your dad was a part of that. You and your family are in my prayers.

Peter was a beauiful person, I have known him all his life, loved and admired him. Joanne, you, Mary Elizabeth and Matthew are in my thoughts and prayers. Lovd, Aunt Glad

"Pete was a great man who loved his family very deeply. He always put others ahead of himself." ---This certainly begins to describe Pete, but he was a very deep individual. His perverse sense of humor coupled with his darkly jovial manner made many a day worth spending at the office. He was a great man without noteworthy public achievements, but a great man nonetheless.

Pete was a great man who loved his family very deeply. He always put others ahead of himself. He was a great friend and I will surely miss him.

Pete was a good friend to the RC helicopter flyers at the Top O' New Jersey RC club. We will miss flying with him at our field. We extend our condolences to his family and friends.
