Ah, Dotty, I'm so sorry to hear of Pete's passing. I have fond memories of him curling in the Thursday afternoon "prayer" league. He was so competitive on the ice, but the greatest buddy off-ice. He will be missed.

Dotty & Family, I am so sorry for your loss. Peter and I enjoyed many great experience together at the Edison Club. We both had the wait staff well trained to bring both our beverages whenever either one of us arrived at our table first during Ladder League.
