I am very sorry to hear of Pete´s passing. I worked with him for several years and he had a great work ethic and was a smart and dedicated individual. Most of all, Pete was a great person who would help anyone out and always had a great attitude. It was a privilege to work with him and know him. May he rest in peace.
