I only learned of Pete's passing today as I have been out of town. I worked with him for quite a few years here at NRL, and he was always such a nice person. He was a valuable asset to NRL and we missed him when he retired. My sympathies to all of his family.

Thoughts and prayers are with your family as you mourn the loss of your father and grandfather. I have such fond memories of your father from when I was young, of all the dinners we had with our families. May he rest in peace with your mother. And may happy memories keep them both close to your hearts forever. Love, Susan Capar Carl
