Sorry for your loss,our Prayers are with you.

Pete was a great man, married to a great wife, and raised great children. He succeeded in life by every important metric you can think of. Those who knew him were better people because of it.

Becky,
I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Becky and Family,
Sorry for your loss of Pete. We and many others are indebted to him for the opportunities and trust he provided. He encouraged excellence and knew the importance of celebrating accomplishment with his team. We will cherish the memories forever.
