To the Unsworth family,
Pete and all of you have been in our thoughts and prayers during these weeks. Hal and I were so happy that Pete made it to the last Granby '67 reunion.Even thought many a year has passed we still remember our classmates as they were in high school, and for the most part that is a good thing. Pete was a great guy and will be truly missed by all.
Our deeped sympathy to the family. May God comfort and give you strenght during this time. And remember all the great times. In loving prayer,
Hal and Susan Story

Lydia and Sam,
Ray, Haynes and I were so sorry to learn of the loss of "your Pete". We will miss seeing him ride by in his truck with his boat on the way to some fishing fun and his stopping to speak with whomever was outside in his warm and neighborly way.
He will be greatly missed but memories will remain always in everyone's heart.
Our prayers are with you both now and in the days to come.
Janice, Ray and Haynes

Lydia and Sam,
I do not have the words to comfort you at the loss of your dear husband and your dear father. However, in Psalms 116:15 our Lord has the comforting words that matter, "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints."
I will pray for your peace and comfort that only comes through Jesus.
In His Love,
Janis Fehlig

Sam and Family, Tom and I are so saddened by your loss. Although I just met your dad one time (dropping Thomas off to go back to USC), he was such a warm and friendly person, he made us feel at ease immediately. You and your family will be in our prayers. Finola and Tom Jacobucci
