I’m so sorry. He was a sweet man he was great with my grand daughter. He brought her suckers to McDonald’s when ever we were in there. He will be missed

Pete was a special character to all of us who worked with him in construction. He could figure out any complex problem or challenge – and he loved to explain to you the fine workings of his plan of action. He worked us, taught us, challenged us, tricked us, and yes – entertained us. Late night “tale telling” at the Waffle House won’t be the same without Pete. He left a lot of brick and block in place to stand witness to his being here on earth – but his wit, grin, and friendship will be sorely missed. Guess he is on his way to heaven – bet that old “dog” he had for so long will be in the back of his truck. So long Pete…
