Pete lived across the hall from me at New York Chirorpractic College. I remember him fondly. He pups be a "big personality" at times and brought a light hearted vibe to our dorm. This was something I really appreciated about him during some of those stressful days. He was generous of spirit as well. I will never forget the day that he let me try adjusting his neck . I had actually never tried it before and the sound that came from his joints were so loud that it made me break down laughing.
How could I ever forget him.
I just thought of him today and found out that he had passed. I´m so sorry - sincere condolences to his loving family

Pete you will be missed by so many!!! I will especially miss our messenger chats about politics and these crazy times. At times I felt like I was loosing it and you always had a sensible response. May God give your beautiful Bianca the strength to get through life without you. I know that she knows how much you loved her. Death cannot take that away from her. She now has an angel in heaven. You will be forever in her heart. God bless your soul! May your family find peace!

One of the nicest and most giving persons I ever met. Passionate about everything but mostly about his daughter. When he spoke of her, he lit up.

I'm so saddened by his premature passing. He will be missed.
