Not sure what to say?

Miss you Pete. Haven't had a decent haircut since you left.

Pete AKA Peetu, was my father Roger Gagnon's cousin. His father Emile was Damase brother. My father looks just like Peetu and my father is one year younger. Pettu passed on my birthday. I will always remember that. My heartfelt sympathy to all the family.

Pete was a great barber and a very special person in many people's lives. Pete gave of himself many times and did so in a very humble way. There was a framed article from the Pawtucket Times hanging in his barber shop that only touched on what a great person he was...Cumberland (and Pawtucket) has lost one of it's great residents...may you rest in peace my friend.

Clair,Michael,Linda & Family. So sorry to hear of Petes passing, he was a special person to the special ed students at Fallon school. May he rest in peace.

"I went to Pete years ago before I moved to Texas. Remember him as a great person and a great barber."

To the family of "Pete the Barber". I have been going to his barber shop for years. Pete and I loved to discuss politics. He also convinced me to have my knees replaced, which was a good decision.
He was a good friend and I will miss him. May he rest in peace.

LOVE and PRAYERS to you all !
Claude and Jane
