People gravitated to him due to his genuine love of life, thoughtfulness, listening and caring for others. Lucky Peter when he met and married Kathy to whom he was devoted.

I’ve known Pete for over 30 years. I got to know him because both of us were TM Lions together. My wife BD became good friends with Kathy his wife. As couples we got closer when Kathy developed health problems. When Kathy died we got closer and when BD got sick , Pete spent more time with us. After Bd died, Pete spent a month with me in Florida for many years. Pete will be missed by many for his compassion and kindness.
God Bless and his family,
Ed and Coco Jors
