All of us at Aztec will miss Pete.
He was truly a kind person and always seem to end the conversion with something positive.
Often, before he said Goodby, he would say, "Well, I'll get out of you're hair".
Pete . . You were never a bother!
We'll miss you!

My Family and I lived right across the street from Pete for many years. I have many a fond memory of Pete. I almost always recall seeing him with his camera around his neck. I have several of his photo's framed, myself. Most of all, I will always remember him as a very kind, generous, soft spoken man. God Bless you Pete.
My deepest sorrow for your loss. I will always remember him.

I remember Pete from the time we revived Bradbury Camp in the '90s. He was a good guy. He was kind to send us copies of his photos of my dad's funeral three years ago, in which the camp played an important part.

Pete was a great friend and a proud dedicated Mason. He idolized his Civil War Ancestor and was extremely proud of his heritage. I spent many a day with Pete at Gettysburg and other Civil War events throughout the 20 years that we knew each other. When I would see Pete, he was usually pointing a camera at me or the group that I was in. He was the unofficial Camp Photographer and his photos are an archive of Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War activities. Sgt. Jones Bradbury Camp #149 will...

I remember Pete from my early days in Crop Protection. Whenever our paths crossed at work I was always left with a smile on my face. No doubt he was a diverse character but without folks like him work would have been a very boring place. Pete was a good guy and my fun memories from work include him. I am sorry for your loss.
