Dear Ginny, Ann, and Vicky

Maureen and I are very sorry to hear of Pete,s passing.
Pete always had a smile and a laugh, a joke, and a strong drink.
He was a good man.
The Rajsich family enjoyed the years that you lived next door to us and all of the many years of friendship after you moved away.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Ginny & family

Expressing my deepest sympathy,
And hoping you find comfort
in knowing others care
and are near you in thought today.

Steve passed away while we were in Florida in 2007.
I was very fortunate to have been married to him for almost 60 years. Even thou the Military separated us with school and active duty.

My very best

Our sincere condolences to the entire family. Pete was a great guy, and we all enjoyed his very famous sense of humor. I taught with him at Tech.

We have many fond memories of Peter, the trips we took with the family and the many get togethers. We're sure he's got everybody in heaven laughing at his jokes!
We will toast him with a martini on Tuesday evening.
