Oh Janet and family, I am so terribly sorry. You are in my prayers. Seems Pete always had a smile for others. Much love, Laura

I´m so sorry to hear of Pete´s passing. Pete was one of several men who took me under his wing years ago and showed me a better way of living - sometimes as my sponsor but always as a great and caring friend... He was always willing to listen and to reach out to countless numbers of people as they tried to find their way to a better and healthier way of life. Pete will be missed but he will live on not only in our hearts but also in how we act and how we treat and interact with others... Bruce Fay
