Audrey, I just learned about Pete's death
this evening from Janet Hays - from
Jeannie Vojta. Made me feel very sad.
My sympathy to you and your family. I
remember the times when you lived in Ft. Wayne and came to South Bend and we
got together for a good visit. And at'
alumni time in Holbrook. Diane

Dear Aunt Audrey and family,
My condolences for Uncle Pete passing on. I recall good memories when we had family vacations at your home in Indiana. I recall you and uncle Pete would play a game with your kids when traveling to visiting your parents, our grand parents, Arthur and Marie Debban in Arapahoe. The first to see the Arapahoe water tower won. All the best to you and your family. God Bless.

My uncle Pete was like an older brother to me. He very much a part of our family. I will always remember him as a kind, considerate, and genuine person. He was generous of spirit and treated everyone with interest, respect, and consideration. I am grateful to have been a part of his life.

I wish to add a reflection that my mother (Lorena Ems, Pete's sister-in-law) has related to our family. Pete and Audrey called Arapahoe at various times to share news and catch up. They continued to do so after Pete's condition prevented them from traveling to Nebraska to visit. In later years, Pete would share some thoughts about how much family meant to him. It is notable that, more than once, he has said to our mother that he was pleased that she always welcomed them and that she...

Our Uncle Pete will be missed but always remain in our thoughts as an exemplary, kind soul. I felt close to Pete and Audrey and happy for their union which evolved into a wonderful family. He took pride in his family, was honorable in service to his community and country and always a devout Christian with the heart for serving. In fact, he would be the person I would hold up as the model of what a man should strive to be. With loving thoughts, prayers and condolences to his wife and...
