Walter "Pete" Small, age 79, passed away peacefully on December 14, 2024, in Greenwood, IN. Born on May 23, 1945, in Portland, Maine. Pete was a devout member of Shawnee Alliance Church from 1989 until 2018 and subsequently joined Mount Pleasant Christian Church, where he worshipped until his passing in 2024.
