Martie and Family:

My depest and most sincere condolences on your loss. I worked with your Dad for a short time many moons ago and although he was a stern supervisor, he was funny and extremely fair, not to mention he was fairly intimidating when we would stop by to visit you. I am sure he will be missed by many, may time and the Lords grace ease your pain but not erase his memory, God bless you all.

Pete was a good and humble man. We always respected each other and enjoyed many cold beverages together over the past 15 years. He will be missed. Thank you for your service, Pete. Geo Bosco Jackovich

Pete was one of my dad's only friends when I was young. He was always at my house listening to music and sharing his stories while I quietly listened and was slowly traumatized! ;).. He was a great friend to my dad, and his presence meant the world to me the day we laid my Dad down to rest.. Now 14 years later they will be together again, and im sure the laughs continue. Pete RIP and say HELLO to Mr. Marquez for me..

Pete, I had the pleasure of working with you five days a week for almost two years. You were not only my Jefe, my commanding officer, but you were my good friend. You will be terribly missed, but your memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew you. God Bless and Keep you, my friend.
Sincerely,
Ilene Pierce

Pete you were a great person. I had the pleasure of working with you on many occasions. The stories you shared and the laughs we had together will stay with me. You mentored many people and was greatly respected by many. I know that you are in a better place now and that you are no longer in pain. God Bless you and thanks for being a friend. I will always remember "Soy Yo"
with my sincere respect
