Not sure what to say?

Dear Anne Marie:
It was with a sad heart that we left for vacation in July, because we knew Pete would leave us while we were away. And sure enough he did. You could not find a more caring and loving man in such a gruff exterior. If you didn't get to know him, it is a shame because then you realized how much he taught, not only by being a coach, but just by being around. We miss you Pete.
Jim and Linda Davis, Graeme, Cal and Cody. He was one heck of a guy.

Pete was my coach when i was 14. We had a game @ Northampton, Pete asked me if could pitch...I said sure Mr. Kraft. He asked if I knew how to windup...if i could throw a curve...or something offspeed. I said no to all three. He said OK...can you throw from the stretch like in little league? Yes, you're pitching today...that's how i got into pitching and i'll always thank you Pete.

To the Kraft family. I am so sorry to hear of your loss. May you always remember the good times and may it give you comfort. Sandy Wheeler Martin

Ann Marie and Family,
We are so sorry to hear of the passing of Pete.Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
From the years of Peter in kindergaten, and Pete as a Dad at SHS to our own son Mark at FBTTA our lifes have crossed.In all, we knew Pete for 30 years.
And in those thirty years he taught us how to give of yourself completly to a cause. Never to step down from what you beleive in, even if it is not what others want to hear. And to always put the good of the organization...

Dear Pete,
It's been awhile since we spoke with each other but I wanted to send my heartfelt condolences on your father's passing. I hope you and your family are well.

Dear Ann Marie, Melissa and Peter,
My memeories go back to my days at Sts. Peter&Paul when Pete coached the basketball team and actually made a manager out of Bobby Ference. I also remember many great times at the Ference's including changing Melissa's diaper. Pete was passionate about coaching and yes I remember him getting tossed out at the CYC for being so "passionate." Pete was special and he touched the lives of so many. He will always have a special place in my heart.

You have my prayers and condolences for your loss. Pete will always have a special part in my memory as a first cousin. Who spent a good deal of time at family events, dodger baseball and Penn State Football, but mostly for being such a close relative.

I’m away on a schedule trip and regret that I am unable to attend the services but we will attend Mass in New Mexico and he will be in our prayers.

Our thoughts are with you and your family, Joe and Kim. Please let us know if there is anything we can do for you.
