Pete had a heart of gold, I am thankful that I had the chance to know him. He was the kind of person that if I needed a friend to talk to, I knew would find him in the barn willing to listen. Pete will be greatly missed but always remembered by those of us that had the chance to know him.

Peter was not only my cousin, but my soul friend. Without keping in touch, we were always somehow connected. I always knew that he was there for me. I know that he will continue to look over me, along with the rest of our beautiful family.

Dear Jim and Aunt Jane and all my cousins, My prayers are with you. My Girls, and Grand Girls, all expressed dismay when they heard about Peter's accident. I guess they all felt like he was their own special friend because of the undivided attention and interest he gave them. His gift of making people feel special and cared about was extraordinary. We all miss him. Love and Prayers, -Edie, Ann & Ray, Brianna, Erica, James, & Spencer, Christy and Lily

I am so very sorry about the loss of Pete. I can't stop thinking about all of the good he brought to my life and to others. I can just picture that great big smile on his face, that "teddy bear" look. And he was a great person to talk to. No matter what was on your mind, Pete would listen and always be there for you. Even through tough times, he was always there to boost your spirit. I will miss Pete also. My thoughts and prayers are with you every day.
