So saddened to hear of Pete's passing. I played football with him in high school at Penfield High School. He graduated with my wife Lynn. We have such fond memories of Pete. RIP Pete. I'm sorry we did not reconnect after high school.

I knew Pete at Penfield High School. He did me a kindness that I will never forget. It changed my outlook on the high school experience and shaped my life there. I'm glad I was able to thank him at a class reunion.

I knew Pete at Penfield High School. He did a kindness for me that I will never forget and that shaped my life in those turbulent teen years. I am glad I was able to thank him at one of our class reunions.
