Not sure what to say?

My best friend during school days at Ben Franklin/North High

Always remember our last talks while I was in Florida on vacation in 2008. We sure had some great times together.

Ten (10) years ago I was taken back by Pete's death and even today I am sad thinking of him leaving the world so soon. Early this year our mutual friend (Dave Moat) and I attended Spring Training baseball in Arizona. We purposely attended a Los Angeles Dodger game wishing he could have been part of our adventure.

Hard to believe it has been 2 1/2+ years. Next year I have a trip planned to New Mexico and Colorado. My travels will take me through Lubbock, TX & a stop @ the Buddy Holly Museum. Like I do whenever I hear one of his songs on the radio (not unusual here in TX) I will think of our years of friendship, many talks and smile. John

Merry Christmas Dad!

Lately I find myself thinking of Christmas's of the past. I remember waiting to receive your phone call telling us you were on the plane and doing some last minute shopping because the "special" gifts wouldn't fit in your suitcase. Then there was the last minute wrapping and filling out the name tags. You wanted each gift to look just right.

You you always looked forward to seeing the kids faces when they opened their gifts from Grandpa Pete.

Happy Fathers Day Dad! I love and miss you very much! I look forward to the day when we can be together again. Have a great fathers day!!
With much love TTA,
Karen

Dad & I

I just heard a Bobby Venton song on the radio and tears came to my eyes. I thought about you immediately. All the kidding you did because Bobby Venton was a favorite of mine for a long time. Thanks Pete for those memories. I wishwe could make more. Your loving sister-in-law Anne

Hi Dad,

Even though it has only been a month since we last talked it seems a lot longer. I have wanted to call you so many times and say "hi, how are you" but now I know I don't need the phone to talk to you. I think about you several times a day and even find myself talking out loud to you. I only wish I could hear your voice. I wish you were here but I wouldn't change the way things are now because you are healthy, happy, and cancer free.

Every time I hear a Chicago...

Dad,
I know you have finally gone to a better place. One where you feel no pain, there is no such thing as cancer, and you can play golf until your heart is content. I know your suffering is over and you are at peace. There is no greater relief for us to know you are with God, and in good company with other friends and family up there.
While I am happy for your peace, I want you to know you are missed. I think of you every single day. I find myself using your sense of humor, using...
