Pete was a great neighbor. Always happy, and loved to keep busy in his yard. He shared plenty of old Waukegan stories. We will miss him.

Our uncle Pete was a great role model for all of us. The Judge was a fantastic family man and veteran of World War II. Always a straight shooter who you could depend on if needed. Rest in Peace Pete.
