Not sure what to say?

Pete was one of the nicest and gentlest men I have ever met. Whenever he and MaryEllen would visit Westminster College, they always brought me a treat from a STL bakery. I spent many President's Dinners sitting with them sharing family stories. Whenever I was in STL, I would stop by their home and visit.

My sincerest condolences for Pete, Jr. and Jeanne and the family. Heaven got one of its angels back.

Pete not only was our insurance man for many years, he was our friend. Whenever I had to call Pete, he would take care of any issues we had with the excellent business man he was. Pete was a good man....

What a wonderful person. Pete was my agent from 1980 up until his retirement. I used to go to his office each month to pay my life insurance premium just to see and talk with Pete for a few moments because I would always leave with a smile. He always had such a calming and even keel personality that I aspire to in my life today. Please except my condolences.

In 1976 being a young married couple not knowing anything about insurance, we met Pete. He helped us when we needed help and we stayed with him for all our insurance needs until his retirement. A good, kind and decent person who never let us down.

What a beautiful summary of the man Pete was. For 34 years Pete has been our Good Neighbor. We used to play Indian ball at Des Peres park almost every Sunday. What a great time that was! Kind and gentle captures the essence of this man. I will miss him.

Sorry to hear your father passed away. May he be at rest and pain free now.
