Johanne, we are so sorry for your loss. Pete was such a character, truly one of a kind. He was so funny and a wealth of knowledge about what was going on around town. I will miss his funny stories and him yelling at me across the road… it’s so hard to believe he’s gone… If we can help in any way, please let us know.

Johanne sorry for the passing of Pete. after playing ball with him for so many years we always had fun enjoyed being around to share are good times. Didn’t see him as much anymore as it always goes but will still miss the times we did meet up. Best wishes to all of the family.
