I'm a old friend of Pete's. Haven't seen him in many years but I was around when he meant Mary. He was a true gentleman. I worked with him at The Gazette in Schenectady. I worked with Mary at the Press Box Bar as well. So, I was around when they met and married. What a sweet and wonderful couple! Such fun and always a Class Act. Unforgettable! My condolences on such a great loss.

"She did not stand alone, but what stood behind her, the most potent moral force in her life, was the love of her father." - Harper Lee
Dad always said that when he died, all he wanted was for people to tell his kids what a great guy he was, like when his own father died. We already knew, he was the best man we will ever know.
