Brian, Doug and Shirley, I am devastated to hear of Pete's death. I have incredibly fond memories of all of you. Pete was always so kind to me. I still believe that working for him and with Brian was the best job I will ever have. I know that he really didn't need the extra help but he knew how desperately I wanted to work at RCC. It is something I will never forget nor will I forget how you all were a second family to me in Roswell.
You are in my thoughts and prayers and I hope you can take some comfort knowing that Pete is now in the Lord's hands.
Love,
Brian Dwinnell
