Pete was a native of Moore County. He began working at Standard Mineral at a very young age, later working at Carthage Fabric and Riley Paving Company. Pete enjoyed fishing, meeting people and sharing good conversation. He liked cars and was always ready just to "ride around' looking at the countryside.

Pete is survived by sisters: Betty Sue Jeffries, Flora Tucker, Helen Jeffries; brother: Johnnie McNeill; longtime companion: Judy Pope; many nieces, nephews and friends.
