I am honored to have been a part of your lives for the brief time I was. I wish I had known Pete for much longer than I did.

I just learned of Pete's passing and am sorry not to have been able to attend the service to honor his life. Pete was beloved amongst us bluegrass musicians, a great and kind-hearted guy. He played bass with the timing of a metronome and flatpick guitar with speed and agility, a wonderful musician and a joy to play music with. He will be missed!

Pete was a great person to work with... He had a wonderful memory, and helped me so many times while we were reading meters. There will never be anyone to replace him.. I was glad I could see him in the Nursing Home in Concord when I came to NH last year. He will be in my memory forever. My thoughts are with you and his son. Willy Randall
