Read MoreGreat guy! I will always remember his laugh. Since he was from where I grew up, we never had a lack of "stimulating" conversations. Pete lived a good life and his memory and spirit will always be with me.

We feel so privileged to have known Pete. It was always a pleasure to spend time with Pete and Maggie, their daughter Margaret, and our dear friend Deedee and all her family. Pete had a great sense of humor, a twinkle in his eye, and a genuine curiosity and caring for others. I know that he was ready to go, but will be missed. Now every time that you take a walk, enjoy the sunrise and sunset, and laugh, you can feel his spirit near, and believe that he is celebrating life with you.

Mr. Pete brought many smiles to my little girl's face during Sunday Mass. One day I caught her making a silly face at Mr. Pete during Church and when I corrected her she let me know Mr. Pete made that silly face first!
