Barbara, Kelli, Jennifer and family,
We are so saddened by Pete's passing. He was such a wonderful man and he loved all of you so much. We loved our waves in the morning and our chats after work as I left my parents house almost on a daily basis. The girls called him "Papa Pete" and would always yell out the car window a goodbye to him and to Charlie. He always asked about the girls and how everyone was doing when I was without the kids. He spoke so highly of all of you and was so proud of all of his family and grandkids! I remember talking to my dad who said that Pete was so excited to share a video of Mattea hitting a home run at the Italian Club dinner. You are in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Pete touched so many lives and we will miss our smiles, waves and chats. Much love
