Jane and family, I was stunned to hear of Pete's passing. Though the good times we shared on Pirate Island were many years ago, remembering Pete's laugh and enthusiasm makes it seem as if they happened yesterday. May you find comfort in the love from God and your family and friends.

Pete was without a doubt one of the most colorful characters in the history of IBM Rochester. However, his genius was that while being a happy go lucky guy he was also one of the driving technical leaders behind the Silver Lake project. And if this wasn't enough he was also my outside consultant when I went to buy my first snowmobiles. My deepest sympathy to all his family and thank you for sharing Pete with us for 31 years at IBM.

Pete was a wonderful friend for over four decades. His passing saddens me deeply. His quirky humor and laughter brightened my day any time we met. May the family find solace in their remembrance of a truly nice man.

Jane, I was sorry to read in tonight's paper that Pete passed away. I remember when you left Rochester (and our quilting group), you two were looking forward to the next phase of your lives in WI. May your family and good memories of Pete give you strength and peace. Our prayers are with you and your family. Jeanne and Jim Licari

Jane, Sue and I were both unbelievably shaken by Deb's call last evening. Please know that you, Debbie, Jennifer and the entire family are in our prayers. You have not only lost your husband but also your very best friend and I have lost my best friend as well. Personally, I will sorely miss Pete, his laugh, his always upbeat attitude toward life and most of all his friendship. He was truly a nice man, a great friend to me and his passing is a great loss that makes this grown man cry. Hopefully the many fond memories of Pete that we all share will give you and all of us some peace and comfort in the years ahead. Your (and Pete's) long time friend, Grant

Pete will always be remembered for his sense of humor and his happy go lucky way, he loved life and lived it. I enjoyed working with him and loved his presentations. It is a shame to hear that he has passed away and he will be missed by me and all his friends.
