I knew Pete only briefly, but during that short time, it was obvious to me that he was man that fought for what he believed in, was a loving father, and had a big heart. I will not forget. Rest now in God's loving hands Pete.

I worked with Pete back in the mid-90's at Transit. I remember that he was also a Yankees fan. Really a cool person. My condolences to his family.
