Just learned of Pete's death. Saddened to learn of the passing of one more of a distinguished Miiddletown family. Peter's father was a very special friend and the Baldwin family were close friends, as well. Sincerest condolences to the whole family with fond regards.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Words cannot express my sadness for you and your family. Pete and you were both such an important part of my mother's life. I know that if Mom were here, she would be right by your side helping you through this difficult time. At least we can find peace knowing that they are both on the other side together. May you always hold dear the memories that you and Pete shared. They will last a lifetime and remind you of how much you shared together and cared for one another. Sending my deepest sympathies and healing prayers.

Dear Mrs. Boden, Kim and Peter,
So sorry to hear of your loss. During this sorrowful time, may the love and strength of your family and friends comfort you. May the fun memories of your husband/your Dad him keep him close in your hearts.
He was an extraordinary man, always a smile for everyone. I remember many, many years ago how proud he was when showed me his cork collection. He had that way of connecting with people.
May you find comfort and peace in knowing that Heaven now has another angel, a special one watching over you.

A great man has left behind an incredible legacy and lots of broken hearts. Numb best describes what I feel of learning of Pete passing on. I will forever cherish his kind, gentle and honest being. His humor and integrity along with his deep powerful laugh will remain in my memories for a man whom I am very proud to have called friend.
