Pete coached our eldest son years ago in summer baseball... Fast forward a few years and Cullen and Pete Jr. were playing lacrosse at the high school together. My husband and I would see Pete on the train home and he would always catch us up on how great Pete or his girls were doing. The pride and love he had for his children exuded every time we saw him. May your memories comfort you during this difficult time. With deepest sympathies,
The McCarthy Family

I am so sorry for your loss. Pete was so good to my boys, Mark and Kevin. Mark would talk of him always and tell me all the stories Pete told him. Many nights of sleepovers, & nights around the fires, they would both have many stores to tell, they will miss him. I will miss his kindness toward them. May you keep each other close and remember he will be with you always.
