I am so sorry for your loss. I knew Pete only through my daughter and son in law, Nikki and Rueben Auter. I know this although Pete and I only spoke a few times the dedication of Rueben and Nikki as His friends speaks volumes about Pete. I may not be saying this just right but he must have been a caring, kind and loving man to have so many people who cared for him so much. "May the God of all comfort", give you comfort in your time of need.
