Pete was the go to Machinist boss at Electric Boat for all the hard jobs that needed to get done right the first time. He didn't always tell you what you wanted to hear, but always told you what you needed to hear. Hard working, knowledgeable, tireless and always honest, he was the man you wanted on your team. We will miss you Pete! My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Our dear friend Pete:

We will miss his boisterous laugh, burly hugs, and stories of the day with a sparkle in his eye. He always shared his favorite things with the people he loved and the people he loved loved him right back.

Kel May you find peace in fond memories and the love you shared for each other. We are always here for you.

Pete - May you be strumming your guitar with old Big Joe in the Elvis Suite of Heaven.

Until we meet again . . . we will miss you dearly.

I was deeply saddened to read of Pete's passing. It was a pleasure to work with him for many years at Electric Boat. Always willing to help in any way he could, always a gentleman, sometimes hard to find in the shipyard.
