Pete was more than a mentor-he was a guiding light during my early days with the South Windsor Police Department. As a trainer, he set the bar high, leading by example with professionalism, unwavering ethics, and a quiet strength that earned the respect of all who served alongside him. Pete´s integrity and dedication left a lasting impression on me, not just as an officer, but as a person. He was a great friend, a steady presence, and a true embodiment of what it means to wear the badge with honor. His legacy will live on in the countless lives he touched.

I have known Pete for about 20 years since joining the Somers Sportsmen Assoc. He was an integral and important member always looking to help where he could and made a valued contribution to all aspects of the shooting sports. He will be missed by all. Be blessed!

Peter was one of the very best. We spent many hours at the Somers Sportman´s Club shooting but mostly doing what Pete loved most, talking. I found him to be a very genuine person full of life. His life was your happiness. I will miss him very much. People like Pete come along not that often. His memory will last forever in the hearts who knew him. May GOD hold you in HIS arms and welcome you into eternal rest. That which you truly deserve.
