Going back to our high school days, I have such fond memories of the two of you. Can't believe that Pete is gone. Much love to you, Fran!

Fran and family-
I'm so sorry to hear of Pete's death! I have a wonderful mental picture of him standing in the doorway of St.Patrick's church after mass this year. AS I remember, he was in charge of the procession of many people/groups into the mass. And, I remember thinking how well it flowed! I told him as I left church-his response was "Thanks" with his cute grin. Many prayers- Mary Jo Canar, MIlwaukee Shamrock Club.

Dear Fran, we are so saddened to hear about Peter. You were a wonderful couple to know. Thank you for your friendship! Peter helped our organization, Accompany of Kids, get to where we are today. He will be missed by many businesses and non-profits for his expertise, but most of all for his wisdom. You are in our hearts and thoughts. With love - Ann Heitman-Cortez

Fran,
Peter was so much more to me than a business associate. His advice, sometimes business and sometimes personal, was always wise and insightful. Not to be replaced. Jeannette Tries and I are shattered by this loss.

Prayers to the family. Our son Nathan was so fond of Pete, and often helped him cut his wood and stack it for the winter. He was very saddened by the news of Pete's death. Our family sends our condolences. May his soul rest in peace.
