Pete was one of my best friends growing up. We did so much together. I used to get him laughing so hard that he would scream “I can’t breathe”. Tears would flow with laughter. I periodically visited Pete at him home, and we would talk about the good times we had together while in school. What a sense of humor he had…..God bless you Pete….
To Pete’s family: Know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.
