Read MoreI only met Peter the one time, however they say that you can know a man by simply looking to his wife and children (the Legacy he leaves), and in doing so it is very evident just how great a man Peter was.

Sincere condolences to Lori and the girls and the entire family. Will miss seeing Pete, laughing and smiling together. The toughest lefty I ever faced... big sweeping curveball, inside corner almost unhittable fastball to lefties, nasty changeup. Had alot of fun on the field and in the parking lot after our games too! Infectious smile, always a good time to be around and genuine human being. I know he will be missed in so many ways, by so many different people. Keep him close and take...

This guy was fun. Big " Hey Cool Aid" smile and personality to match. Always made ya feel like you were his best friend. Was a privilege to play ball with this guy. Protector Pete I used to call him because if you messed with George you were going to have a problem.
My love to his Family.

I just found out about Peter's passing and wanted to send my thoughts and prayers to his family.

I am truly sorry for your loss.

Pete Palmer was one of the finest people I have ever known. I had the pleasure of calling him a friend for over 25 years and can honestly say that I have never heard anyone say a negative word about him. He was a loving husband, father, brother, son and friend. He truly was selfless. He not only helped any family member or friend who needed him, he chose a career helping people find justice and freedom. Pete was always there for his friends whether they needed a sympathetic ear, a...
