This gentleman was one of my best friends, he went through things with me that would fill a book. Pete was his nickname. Lots called him Mr. Pete. I have known him most of my life, he was a true friend but more like a big brother to me. He was living with us when I had to go to the hospital to have my first child, I knocked on his bedroom door and told him it was time to go to the hospital, he came out in his white Tee shirt and boxers with his socks and shoes on. I told him I think you better go back and finish dressing. He was so much fun and loved his friends and family with his whole being. Now he is with the rest of his buddies, looking down, saying, I am okay; you be okay...
