Your dad cooked all of the food for our wedding at Star Lake and everyone loved the food but more importantly really enjoyed talking and laughing with Pete. People still remember the food from that day and would often ask about him. He was a special guy!

My deepest sympathies to the family of Pete Nichols. We were next door neighbors to Petey and Annette for many many years. I played ball against him and bowled against him for decades. He was a gem of a neighbor. I always looked forward to running into him all over town. I laughed every time I would see him driving his ''Fat Guy '' truck. I ALWAYS got excited when it was Summer fest weekend in Oregon. Pete would set up and start making His legendary meatball subs. Easily the BEST ever. It was a perk to be his neighbor too. Tupperware filled with meatballs would just appear all the time. His humor was right up my alley. He hated when I mowed twice a week because he would have drag his mower out and do his again. LoL..He was a great friend and a asset to the Oregon community. He will be missed for sure. Jim Snow
