Pete was a dear friend to my mother in his early years; then when I married Russie he became a friend to me. We had many great times out riding. I'll never forget you & May you rest in peace Pete.

Pete's family and all his friends.
Years ago I met this man, one of the nicest men I met after moving to FL. He was one of a kind, friendly, polite and once you were his friend, you were always a friend, a graceous man. He will be missed!

Friendships don't just happen, but the best ones seem to fall into place. I am so glad I was able to visit with Dad while I was in Daytona this year.
He scared the hell out of me the first time I meet him, and have held a special place in my heart for him ever since.
John, Charles, Lisa & Dedee somewhere in the empty space that's left there are memories and love waiting to make it okay again. God Bless you all!
Love Always Lea, Jaclyn & RJ
