So sorry to hear about Peters passing. Pete was a person who always put a positive spin on things. He was very dedicated to the things he was involved in, and made the best of life’s challenges. Will miss the opportunities to cross paths with him. Fly High Pete✌️

Such a brave , strong man... He had overcome obstacles most could never dream of. He was a kind hearted person and always greeted with a smile and by name. I love the picture . He is smiling as I am sure he is smiling as he is flying into heaven. Pete - you are a true inspiration to all of us. God speed my friend. May your legs rest easy and your heart live on in all.
