I will miss you Pete. Thanks for buying me a fishing lure when I was a kid. I loved it and will allways remember catching a sun fosh on it at your lake in NH. Love you.
Pete.
We have fond memories of our younger
Years. It’s was such a fun neighborhood
And we are so lucky to have shared some
Good times with you and Shirley. You
Must be so proud of Gary and Penni, and
Of course your beautiful grandchildren.
Our deepest sympathy to all if them
You will be missed. Love forever
