Pete was one of the to go guys that you would call. In saying this I also realize the sacrifices he and his family endured when these problems occurred. My condolences go out to his family during their time of grieving with the loss of a loved one. The butterfly emerges from its silken shell- Reborn, it arises, no longer bound to earth.
