Mike and I were so sorry to hear that Pete had passed away. We meant Pete and Mary in Plattsburgh, NY and had the privilege of being their next door neighbors when are children were young and have stayed friends with them ever since. Peter was such a kind gentle soul and always was willing to help in any way he could. We will miss him greatly! Lots of love and prayers going to everyone in the family.
