Diane, I was so sorry to hear that Pete passed away. He was my boss at Hoover Worldwide and I thought so much of him. In fact, I still treasure the thank you card he wrote when us girls planned his retirement party. I read it every once in a while and remember him.

A special uncle that will be greatly missed. Uncle Pete made every gathering fun. You don't drink a Manhattan without thinking about him. Now those Manhattan's will bring a feeling of love and an extra smile to my face with thoughts of this wonderful man.
My heart felt condolences to those he has left behind. His love and memories will go on forever.
Love to you all.

Please accept my deepest sympathy for the loss of your husband and father. Pete always had a smile on his face and made anyone he met feel so comfortable. I still remember your trip to Texas and drinking Manhattans with Uncle Tony & Aunt Athena. We will forever toast him and therefore keep him alive in our thoughts.
May his memory be eternal.
