Sending prayers and thoughts to you all. I worked with Pete at Naylor several years. I always enjoyed our chats. RIP and enjoy reuniting with your wife and family in heaven. 🙏
My sincere condolences to Pete’s family, colleagues and friends. Pete was a good and kind man and a dear friend. May he rest now with Kathy.
Kathy was a high school friend and I met Pete when Kathy and I reconnected several years ago. I shared my woodcarving hobby with him and was very pleased so see him embrace it and become very good at it! Pete was a kind and gentle man who dearly loved his family. He will be missed and remembered well.
I remember him not allowing his daughter to go on a date because I refused to get out of the car,
Pete was a great co-worker and friend. Such a warm kind man.
I loved working and having lunches with you both.
Pete was such a pleasure to work with when he was Director of the Exhibit Designer & Producers Association. Our industry associates will miss him!
Pete will be missed dearly by family and friends. May this tree be a memorial celebration of life.
Jud and I are thinking of you all during this difficult time.
