I am so sorry for your loss. Pete was a wonderful caring guy. I always looked forward to seeing him in the halls at Stine. He spoke often of his wife and children...you could just tell how much he loved you all. Glad I got to see him and chat while he was cleaning out his desk for retirement! And sad that will be my last. He will be missed.

Dear Charlotte, Nelleke, Nathan and Katie -
I just want you to know how much I adored your hubby/dad, he was a wonderful guy, loving person and super fun uncle! We played volleyball every Thursday nite at Barksdale Park and he was ALWAYS joking and full of laughter. He was just nice to be around, sweet and playful. I am so looking forward to seeing you at his service, and wish it were not under such sad circumstances. When things were tough at home, I could always swing by your house, always felt welcome, enjoyed play fun board games and seeing his trains downstairs. Before you all arrived on the scene, as first grandkid I got a lot of his attention and he made me feel very special. I loved him very much and am grateful for all the lovely memories of our times together. With fond affection, Lynnie

What a huge loss. Pete's enthusiasm for trains was contagious. We traveled to many of the National Conventions together, with side trips to Fostoria, Chicago, Kingsman, Durango, Ely and more. I just loved how he shared his hobby with his friends and co-workers.

Pete was a breath of fresh air at Stine Lab! He would charge a "hug toll" in the halls to let you pass! He always had a good word for everyone. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
