I was shocked to learn of Pete's passing. I had no idea that he was terminally ill and this saddens me. I worked with Pete for many years at Mystic Lake Hotel and Casino, in fact from the beginning of his employment. We had a good working relationsip and I enjoyed teasing him. He had a good sense humor and took all the jabs well. He could also hold his own in this area as well. Many of the memories still puts a smile on my face. I am sure his family and friends will miss him greatly. It is hard to loose someone on so quicklly and at such a young age.
