My heart is broken for your family. Pete and I shared a fantastic friendship for decades. He was so kind, humble, thoughtful, and interesting. I cherished time spent with him no matter what we were doing. The world has lost a bright and beautiful light but if anyone will shine as a lighthouse in Heaven, it's Pete. I love you old friend. Until we meet again...
