I am truly shocked and saddened to hear of Pete's passing. Pete was one of the first fellow Midshipmen that I met when we both arrived at Holy Cross in the Fall of '69. We remained close friends throughout only losing contact with each other after commissioning in '73.
May he rest peacefully now in our Lord's light.

Linda, I am so sorry to hear about Peter. I have a lot of fond memories of the times we spent together as kids and on vacation in NH. He had a great sense of humor! He will be missed. Please extend my condolences to Skip, Nancy and Janet. Larry Bray
