Carol and Family,

We send our deepest sympathies. Pete was a "bright spot" in the neighborhood, with a smile and wave for us every time we walked the dog or when Ethan yelled "hello" to him and Samantha. We will miss him.

Carol and family,
You have our deepest and sincere sympathy. Pete will be missed by all who he came in contact with. He will also be remembered for being one of the "good" guys. We were fortunate to be able to call him our friend.

Carolyn,

I had the pleasure of working with Pete at BAE SYSTEMS, formerly Marconi and Tracor. It was an absolutely delightful experience. He will be dearly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. God Bless.
