Dear Kathy, it goes without saying that we are deeply saddened over losing Peter. There have been many fond memories we have shared with you guys starting way back 22 years ago when we were neighbors on Lake Bonny having dinners on our back porch listening to Mob Hits Italian music and drinking wine. We enjoyed our many visits to your home in Palm Bay and trip to "On the Windfall". Peter will definitely be missed by all that had the pleasure of knowing him.
Very Sincerely, Gary and Patti

Dear Dresser Family,
We are saddened by the news of Pete’s passing, but also happy that he lived a great life and is now content at God’s side. Pete was an amazing man with a heart of gold, who showed kindness to all that crossed his path. He will always be remembered for his generosity and selflessness. We wish good fortune upon Kathy and the Dresser Family and want them to know that they and Pete are in our prayers. Much love and happiness to all.
Peter, My Dad, and Dave Averill

Peter was the best baseball player I ever saw growing up! My Dad was blessed to have him play for him in Babe Ruth, American Legion and High School and always said what a great teammate and person he was. Praying for the whole Dresser family.

I really miss you Peter, I can't believe we've worked together for twenty years. I'll miss seeing you everyday at work but I'll always remember how enjoyable you made the morning routine. Miss you my friend.

Kathy has been a long time special friend since our high school days! I met Peter only a coupe of times, but I know Kathy and Peter had a strong love for each other, their families and for God. I am thankful my husband was able to take him flying on Jan 7, 2023 to help complete a bucket list experience. Kathy said he deeply enjoyed that day flying. I wish he could have had more time to enjoy his dreams in life.
Kathy, I love you my dear friend and praying God comforts you during this very sad time.

Kathy and Peter are great neighbors. Michael and I give our condolences. We are so sorry Peter was a Great neighbor. We had our pet dog named Peter, so when I would call out to Peter, the human Peter would answer all the time lol as a joke . No but with all seriousness we love you Kathy and we give our condolences . Best part about this is someday God willing we will see him again .

Peter was a quiet, steady, loving presence in my best friend Kathy’s life. I always loved to hear him ask the blessing before dinner. He nearly always concluded with “and thank you for my wife Kathy, the most gorgeous creature in the world”. He loved her deeply. He always seemed to give great thought to his words. He insisted on carrying his Bible into church, even when he got to the point where he was dropping everything he carried. His strength and commitment to his God were so evident. He and Kathy loved the mountains. Go rest high on that mountain, Peter.

This is such a difficult time saying good by to our loved ones Kathy . We search for the right words to say to comfort one another .
Knowing Peter is walking streets of gold with his Saviour and you will be joining him one day is a comfort that only we as Christians rest upon. My prayers are with you and your family for God’s wonderful grace to uphold you at this time. Love you my friend .

You will be forever missed by your floral family. I know you will enjoy talking to God about all the beautiful flowers he created. You truly had a passion for life and nature.

Kathy- I am very sad to hear this news about Pete. I share your joy in knowing that today Pete can see the face of God and all his suffering is over.
I met Pete in 1992, more than half my life ago, and think often of the old Nordlie days, the good ones and the bad. We have seen many of our old friends go, and now to say goodbye to Pete too just seems much too soon.
I enjoyed his sense of humor, his love for baseball and our shared love of the name “Lukas/Lucas” and trying to decide who had it spelled right. I learned a lot about the flower business from him, which helps me to this day. The world won’t seem the same without him in it.
My family and I- plus all your extended Kennicott friends- will pray for you and the rest of Pete’s family. Godspeed, Pete Dresser. Say hello to all our Nordlie friends for me.

Mary-Jean and I were saddened to learn of the passing of Peter. I have a lot of early memories of family gatherings and sleeping overnight with the Dresser family when we were all young. I watched him grow into quite a baseball player from little league thru college.
Our hearts and prayers go out to you and all the family. Ken & Mary-Jean Leary
