Please accept my sympathy. I have great memories of all the Laketa guy's good natured teasing when I was a little guy right up thru adulthood. Pete was a good guy. Helped raise some wonderful kids. That's a great legacy. RiP.

I am sorry to hear about my friend Pete. Pete, Bob Malkosky and I (Lee Colley) hung around together all the time, Boy Scouts, camping, fishing and one summer we made a pact to canoe every day and each day we would carry the canoe to the river and we there all day. Time gets away, My prayers will be for you at this time of loss. May God keep his watch over you.
