Not sure what to say?

We have had bad luck with are old furnace! Sure do miss calling him to fix it! And having a good chat with Pete nobody will ever fill his shoes!

I had my 71st birthday yesterday. I have a hard time with the reality of Petes short time here, what a nice person. I am glad to have know Pete and shared time with him.

So very sorry to hear about Pete. He has been a part of the Nation family since he was a young boy as a neighbor and best friend of my brother Bob. Mom enjoyed his visits so much when he would pop in to see her or come by and service her furnace. He was a great man, great businessman, and a loyal friend. We will all miss you. Rest in heaven. Russ and Debbie Nation

I was so sorry to hear of Pete's passing. Although I did not know him well, I did see him from time to time and always enjoyed those visits. He had a real knack for putting others at ease. He will be missed. My condolences to the family.

We are so sorry about Pete's passing. We were customers of Pete's for about 20 years but we felt like it was more of a friendship. It was always a pleasure to visit with Pete. He was a great guy.

Judy, Josh and I will miss our visits with Pete. We always enjoyed him coming in. He was more than a customer he was a friend. Rick's Auto Spa. Rick and Nancy Schafer and Josh Wentworth.

Growing up with Pete as my friend and next door neighbor ( Sharlear Drive ) has good lasting memoirs, Pete has been in my thought often through the years, thanks and I will often be thinking about you and god bless you family.
