Always grateful our paths crossed. You are missed Pete. Thank you for being such a good friend to my family. We will miss you until forever comes. ~j

21 years, hard to think that was the age when I met you. I knew you such a short time but you're memory will be eternal. Forever and always in my heart.

You are still alive in our memories, friend. I'll never stop missing you.

21 years. Missing you still.

Remembering you on your birthday. You are truly missed.

Your jersey is hung up at the Glenview ice arena. My son plays for an opposing team and we had a game at the rink today. As we walked down the hallway we came across your jersey and Photo. I told my son about what it was and the sacrifice you made. I myself am a combat veteran and have lost some friends. We take things very seriously and honor the fallen in our house. Just know that you have touched many lives and will continue forever. You will always be in my families prayers.

Thought about you a lot yesterday, Pete. Not sure how half of my life has passed since we lost you. You will never be forgotten.

20 years ... I have no words... you are missed. <3 ~j
