I didn't get to work with Pete very much before I left DOCTORS HOSPITAL, but I Knew he was a good nurse, and he saved many of his patients!! Now GOD has saved him from the worries of our world and taken him home. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Pete's family. My daughter who never knew Pete said, "GOD will take care of him momma...don't cry". Our prayers are with Pete's family, and we wish you all the Blessings from GOD that we know he has planned for you!

My heart grieved when I heard about Pete. I worked with him at Doctors hospital in the ICU when he first came there until the year 2000. But I still remember what a humble. compassionate and knowledgeable nurse he was. He always had time to help others in the unit. He always had a smile, especially when he talked about his wife and his little girl. I know his family and Doctors hospital will miss him tremendously. I pray that God will comfort you, his family, in the days to come.

I never got the chance to work with Pete but I got the pleasure of meeting him a couple weeks ago because he interviewed me at Doctor's Hospital. He spoke so highly of his career, the people he worked with and most of all his family. He encouraged me to continue my education to become a nurse. I have Pete to thank for letting me be a part of this wonderful team. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family. God bless.

I worked with Pete in ICU and Telemetry, He was a wonderful/ incredible/ and humble man. I'm going to miss seing his smiling face every morning as he always greeted me with a good morning jamie, how's staffing.He always made sure everybody else was okay before he proceeded with his day. If something was not right he would fix it before doing anything else. Once again before ending his day he was checking on all the patients on the floor before leaving for the day. And to carla, daughter and family, Pete thought the world of you guys and He will be watching over you each and every day. This is his way of being able to see everybody in 1 glance. I will miss you so much pete, love you very much, hugs and kisses! You will always be in my heart!
