My heart goes out to all of you. I only knew Pete to wave hello to on the block but got the pleasure to know him in his last days. He was kind and a gentleman and his concerns were with his wife, son and family to not be upset. rest assure he is in good hands now.
God Bless

Pete was loved by more people than you could ever know. Many condolences are sent by everyone who knew Pete through Curt by people that he introduced to Pete in the course of his work.
Everybody was shocked and saddened. He will be greatly missed.

Much Love to you both,
