To Pete's family, Our heartfelt condolences on the loss of a great husband, father, and son. I grew up with the Breiner boys and spent many a day bicycling,horseback riding,fishing, or swimming with Pete.He was always upbeat and happy, the kind of friend you knew you could always count on. Though we drifted apart over the years it was an honor to have been a part of his life. He will be missed. God bless you all.

My wish is that your fond Memories help ease the pain you and your family are feeling. With fond memories and much sadness,

I worked with Pete at SRI. He was dedicated, thoughtful and full of energy. He often spoke of his family and his dogs. I'll remember him fondly for his caring personality and wonderful sense of humor. My thoughts are with his family. I want to let them know that they are not alone in their loss; he will be missed by many.

Dear Mrs. Breiner, Ray and family. I just found out about Pete and wanted to extend my sincere condolences. I knew Pete as he was growing up as the younger brother of Ray. Ray and I shared alot of good times together and quite often, Pete was not far behind. I have many fond memories of Pete, especially as we used to hang out at Ray, Sr.'s shop. Pete would sometimes tag along with Ray, John Carpenter, Gerry Miller and myself. I remember Pete as a very intelligent, kind, funloving person, who got along with everyone. God bless you all in your time of grief. Sincerely,
Gary Wagner (AKA Gary Huegel)
