Not sure what to say?

I grew up with Pete, Dave, & John and although I haven't seen them since the high school days, I want to wish Pete's family, his mom, and his brothers all my sympathy. It's surprising and sad to hear of someone so young passing away. It gives one pause to think how quickly life can change. It doesn't seem that long ago when we were playing basketball in the East Pete Elementary gym on Saturday mornings.

So sorry to hear about Peter. Our thoughts are with you at this sad time.
He was a great person to know. Take care.

Pete was a wounderful man who made my Aunt belinda very happy. He treated my two couzins like his own. He will never be forgotten and will always be Loved. He is now in the hands of god looking down upon his friends and loved ones to keep them safe. Always remeber He is in our hearts.

I was shocked and saddened to hear that Pete has passed away. Pete was always fun to be around. His laugh was infectious, and he always made others laugh. I heard quite a few entertaining stories about the trips Mark took to California with Pete. Never a dull moment when Pete was around. Though I haven't seen Pete for many years, I have fond memories of time spent with him. I know that he will be greatly missed by his family, friends and coworkers. Thanks for the memories Peter D.

I went to high school with Pete and we were casual friends. A few years later I had the opportunity to share an apt (at the Ville) with him and we became good friends. He was such a kind, gentle soul. Quick with a laugh and equally fast with the wit. He was the apt peacemaker; he just possessed that skill. He tried to get me to like Neil Young and I just did not get it. Well the years went by and I finally got it. Now when I hear Neil, my thoughts drift back to college and I remember...

There are people that come into your life that become part of who you are. Pete was one of those people. I remember our days working together with found memories. Although we did not work closely for the last few years we never forgot those days and always laughed when we meet on the street or a meeting. As I proceed along lifes road I will miss my friend Pete but remember him with a smile knowing he is part of who I have become. My thoughts and prayers go out to many others that Pete...

We were very saddened to hear of Pete's passing. We knew him through Hershey and always enjoyed working with him out here in California. His visits to Oakdale will always be remembered, especially the time we got to play hookie one afternoon and get in a round of golf. Pete had such a great personality and who could ever forget his laugh and sense of humor. Our deepest condolences to his family and loved ones.

Pete will be missed by many family and friends. Pete was someone everyone can say their lives were enhanced just by knowing him and his wonderful sense of humor. Bless you...

When I first came to work with Pete, we were "cubicle mates" -- I quickly discovered that he was put here to make others laugh by making himself laugh at the same time. It was a gift that not many people have. Everyone loved him for it, whether they knew it or not, and because of that he became an anchor for his friends. We have now lost our anchor.
