Rest in Peace, dearest ‘Pete’.
And thanks so much for taking care of big Jim over all these years. He was my Best Man (twice!)and loved you ever so much. You gave us both many great memories, and made life special for all those around you, especially Jim.
You are painfully missed, already, and will be missed for a very long time.

Jim,
My mom told me about Pete. I am so sorry for your loss. Take comfort in wonderful memories together. I know my mom has many fond memories with the two of you and I will always have my video of the Morton parade thanks to you! May you find some comfort in knowing she is at peace.
