Not sure what to say?

Your absence in leading the path is felt. Rest in peace Pete..

We're still missing you Pete, and as always could use your advice once again. Rest is Peace dear friend.

Pete was a friend of mine while living in Hagerstown MD. I met Pete at the Hagerstown chess club. He played very good chess and beat me many times, but I enjoyed playing. He gave me chess sets, I´d usually give them away too. I did keep a few chess sets including one from Paris France. I have many memories with Pete and even installed a water heater on thanksgiving day. He was a generous man who was always giving. I´ll miss Pete for sure!

Pete was such a great friend and mentor. I learned so much from him about work, agency politics, and life in general. By far the best part of my twenty-nine years at the Department of Energy were the years working with Pete. Working on NMMSS and hanging out with Pete was one of the great experiences of my life. All my love to Lisa and the family. Jim Crabtree
