My prayers are with the family. Mr. Pete was such a sweet man and I will always remember him carrying my son around while we ate but first he would bring him a bowl of grits so he didn't have to wait as long as we did. When he saw him after he had got bigger I remember him going around telling some of the customers that he used to tote Zachary who was now a young man and over 6 feet tall. He would then come over with a great big smile, pat him on the back and say now you will have to carry me. Our hearts are truly broken at his loss.

I am thankful to have known you and to have you as a friend during the past 9 years. We always laughed when we talked which made our conversations very special to me. My prayers are with your family as I can only imagine how much they will miss you.
