My sincere condolences to your family. I worked with Pete during his 14+ years at MOAA. I remember whenever we talked, he did so with a smile in his voice and on his face. He was always witty. Loved talking about his rock 'n roll band. He especially loved talking about Pete Jr. and Jamie. He cherished his wife and family. I am blessed that our life paths crossed. He was a great man.

My sincere condolences to your family. I worked with Pete at MOAA during his 14+ years of service. He was always kind, witty, and fun to talk with on any subject. I adored listening to him reminisce about his rock 'n roll band. He also talked plenty about his kids whom he cherished. I am blessed to have had our life paths cross. He was a great man.

I am thinking of you, Clair, with warm wishes for the comfort that comes from family and friends. My prayers have been with you since you shared your sad news, and I will hold you especially close in my heart as you meet well-wishers at calling hours and again Thursday, when the beautiful liturgy and hymns of your church are lifted up for Pete Wylie. Please share my condolences with your children and entire family.

Pete was a fine naval officer, able judge advocate and all around good guy. Of course being from Boston, he had to be. I am saddened to learn of his passing. He was much too young. I can only offer my deepest sympathies to his family.

My thoughts and prayers got out to Clair, Peter, Jamie and the rest of the family. I would not have had a career in the Navy without Pete Wylie and my wife and I learned much from Pete and Clair. Pete was the best.
