Deepest sympathies and condolences to Pete's family. I've been a sports writer for 38 years and ran a Met League team for 16 and knew Pete well in both capacities. He was a fine official and a better guy.
He'll be missed. Paul Schwartz

Our condolences to Michele and Pete's family. We knew Pete through Michele's next door neighbor Peggy. He was always ready to greet you with a smile and a story. A genuine guy with a caring heart who was very proud of his kids & grandkids. I know he really enjoyed the time he got to spend with them in Florida. He will be sorely missed by all who were touched by him. R.I.P.

Sorry to hear about Pete's passing. My prayers to the family. Both Pete and I attended #7 school and GHS. I was 1 year ahead of Pete. I will always remeber Pete playing left field for the Garfield Alumni softball team when the Garfield Sportsmen played against them. We could never beat them and Pete was instrumental in their victorious seasons back in the late 60's and the early 70's. We will miss him. Bob Pepe

Pete always made me laugh when he did that "Ayyy...Ooohhhh!" look. And he would point like "hey, I know you!" Pete stepped up so many times in a heavy role in my life. We didn't always see eye to eye, but then - he was a bit taller than me. I was a player, he was an umpire. It was that way throughout our friendship. I love, respect and miss you you, Pete. May you rest peacefully in the palm of God's hand.

May your sorrow be shortlived and the memories you share as a family of this wonderful man be your salvation. The testimonies of his friends give witness to the exemplary life that he lived. There is no better tribute in this world then to be so respected and loved. My husband and I attended Garfield High School with Pete and although we haven't seen him since then, we were glad to have had the privilege of knowing him and proud to hear of all his accomplishments. May you find comfort in the legacy he has left behind. With sincere sympathy at the loss of one so loved. Lou and Pat Walden

Pete was a great umpire and an even greater partner who set the gold standard for the rest of us to emulate. I'm happy for the time he spent here among us, and happier still that he was my friend. Safe passage, buddy.
