Pete was a guy that anyone would be proud to call a friend...age, no problem. We will miss his occasional visits when we would sit down with cups of coffee and whatever sweets were available and engage in interesting and lengthy conversations. We admired his enthusiasm and positive attitude -- which were contagious. We will always remember you.
