I go back many years with Pete, mostly on the golf course and after golf at many St. Paul watering holes. Pete's disposition was always evident by his constant smile. Except after a missed shot. Then you covered your ears. Thinking a lot of Pete today and wishing the best to the Willwerscheid family. Ron Evon, Edina

Peter was the patriarch of our family by five minutes as he was the oldest of his identical twin brother, Robert.. He was a strong, happy personality who loved his family of 9 children and several grand and great grand children. He was a concerned and kind person unless you were playing Gin Rummy. Then he was very shrewd and usually won with Jackie., his partner and wife. I will miss Pete and always remember him with admiration and joyful memories of our many years together. Rest in Peace Pete. You have earned you place in heaven.

Loving you always

Your little sister, Laurie
