Years later Pete helped my son through some very difficult times he will miss you as well. Go with God Pete He has a special place for next to him, never will you have to witness any more pain or suffering God be with you all.
I have many fond memories of Pete. He was knowledgable about most things and seemed to have a calming affect on others when people started to disagree as we tended to do in negotiations or disputes. I so enjoyed working with him.
Our love and prayers to Phyllis, Barry, Susan, Louise, his grandchildren and other members of his family. Peter will be sorely missed by all of us.

Phyllis and family, This is certainly a great way for those of us not near to read the obituary. Our prayers and deepest sympathy are extended to you.
Peter you will be missed more than you’ll even know. We have many memories to keep you alive in our hearts. Our days at good old Greeley High were a fun time of life. We’re just thankful we were able to renew our friendship in recent years and share some great times.
All I can say is he was the best grandfather I could ever ask for! I will miss him and love him everyday of my life!

We have so many great memories over many years and we will always be thankful to Peter for sharing with us his love of life; especially his humorous outlook, love of good food and drink, and his vast appreciation of and never ending passion for art. We will miss you buddy. “Peace be with you.”
