My late husband and I have known Pete and his wife from the time we all lived in Indiana Harbor. It was always a pleasure to see him and talk to him after church services. At age 99, I am now confined to a wheelchair and could not attend his services, but with you in spirit. May Pete rest in peace. Eonia i Mnimi.
