I am deeply saddened by the loss of a great guy who was always ready to crack a joke and was a great dad. Thank you Denise for being a great wife, sister and mother. Some of my fondest memories is hanging out with all of your family especially at John Prince Park. Love all of you and will always remember Pete's dry sense of humor and a grin on his face:)

Pete will always be missed but never forgotten. I had the privilege of meeting him during my childhood as one of the neighborhood kids as my brother mentioned here as well. He and his family were very good to us as well as others in the neighborhood. I don't have any stories I really remember about him because I was so young but I do remember that this is a good man and he deserves everyones recognition.

I was devastated about pete's passing.... I grew up with Ramona and Pete and their family. I bought my house from their grandparents, I graduated with Ramona, and reconnected with Pete in 1996 when I visited Pete and his boys with his fellow Johnson and Davis co-worker James "Junior" Galvin. He was a wonderful man. He will be so missed. God Bless the family and my prayers are with you all. Mary Susan Mykitka aka Sue Warner

God Blesses those who mourn, For they will be comforted. (Matthew 5:4)
May God bless you in this time of sorrow.
Pete was a good friend for 20 years.
Death is the last shadow before heaven's dawn.
A Sunset in one hand is a Sunrise in Another.
May your unfailing love be my comfort, according to your Promise, (Psalm 119:76)
You are in my thoughts and prayers.
God Bless

Pete was a great role model. I was a young teenager growing up near his home in Port St Lucie. I started out as a friend of his children's, but soon became a friend of his. Pete always looked out for the neighborhood kids. I remember many nights we'd play basketball together on his driveway. He would always win :) I could hardly ever get a shot past him, he'd usually block them. A few years later my family moved to Tampa and Pete was so generous that he let me come back for a month in the summer and live with him and his family so that I could hang out with the neighborhood kids some more. He was always a giver. I am grateful to have known him.

Fortunate am I to have had the pleasure of working with Pete for the past few years. A man of few words until he had something to say -- we have all learned from him. He was very much liked and respected in out industry and will be greatly missed. My thought and prayers go out to his family at this sad time.
