We are so sorry about your Dad. There are so many nice memories of him. Uncle Pete was not just a gentleman, he was the perfect gentleman. He handled the tragedies in his life with courage. He handled all of his accomplishments with humility. Uncle Pete was an inspiration to everyone. You are so lucky to have had him for your Dad. Each one of you is a testament to him. He was proud of each of you. What a laugh he had and how...

The Smith Family,
Pete was a great neighbor. He would come over and sit with me on our front porch and talk baseball and politics. Very sharp and a great sense of humor. Please accept our sincere condolences. We will truly miss him.
