I am so saddened to hear of the passing of Pete. I would often sit with Pete and have a Guinness or two and hear stories about his playing soccer (football) with my great uncle. He was often good for a laugh or two and would finish his second Guinness and would go home.
I will not be able to attend as I am in Ireland at this time. But be assured I will stop somewhere today and light a candle and say a prayer for Pete. RIP... Until we meet again!
