"We are so fortunate to have known Pete and his family. Visiting with Pete and Alice at a picnic a few short weeks ago, sharing the stories and pictures of their trip to Texas is a memory we will always fondly remember.
Happy trails friend and neighbour!"

A day never passed without a smile, a wave, or a few friendly words from Pete, a wonderful neighbor. I had a special affinity for the love he had for his grandchildren. He always had at least two in tow. I will indeed miss him. I ask God, my Merciful and Loving Father to gather Pete's family in His comforting embrace and bring them solace and peace.
