Pete was my softball coach many years ago. Him along with Archie were wonderful. We had many fun times together. My condolences to his family.
Pete was a one of a kind nice guy. It was a treat to know him and to get to play soccer with him on the Simpkins team. Always enjoyed his occasional phone calls talking about old soccer stories.
