Not sure what to say?

ThaNK you for your service. Healing thoughts and good memories go out to Pete's entire family. He will be missed by all whose lives were touched by him.

Memories came flooding back to me as I read about Peter "earning his wings" It is "part of life" as they say but it never gets any easier to loose a family member or friend... May your days to follow be filled with many stories and memories of Peter and as I remember him his antics!!! May you join together as a family and enjoy each others company!!! Cyber Hugs to all Your "Charlemont Neighbor."

Gladys, my sincere condolences to you and you family. Always liked Pete and we did the same job on the ole B&M as engineers. Also did two tours in the Nam with the combat engineers, so me and Pete has something in common to talk about usually at the engine house at all times of the day and night going on or off duty. It hurts to see a brother fall so early but I guess God has everybody's number.
Rest in Peace my friend my brother....

My heart goes out to Peter's wife and family. I'm so glad I got to see and talk to him at our 50th class reunion in 2012. Thank you for your service to protect all of us. RIP my dear classmate.

Thinking about Peter, or Pete as he was known in our class of '62, Charlemont High School. My heart goes out to his loving family -may your memories give you peace as you mourn your loss.

We of the "Old Railroad Wheels" will remember Pete as a member of the "A Team". The mission was paramount, and Pete was always equal to the task.

Thank you for your service, and the fine examples you displayed in life as a husband, father, co-worker and friend to all those who crossed your path. Thoughts and prayers to you and your family. Rest in peace.

Gladys, my condolences to you and the family. Pete was a good neighbor, as are you all. May he rest in peace.

To the True Warrior Hero who helped inspire me to put on a uniform, do my duty, never quit and be humble of my service. In the immortal words of Winston Churchill, "Never was so much owed by so many to so few." God bless you Uncle Pete and your 173rd Airborne Brigade, when you get to heaven you will already have earned your wings and even though the streets will be guarded by Marines when you walk by they will lower their arms and salute the Sky Soldier with the silver wings and Green Beret.
