He was of the Roman Catholic Faith and a member of the Knights of Columbus.

Pete loved golf, tennis, gardening, Lego’s, The New York Yankees, the New York Jets and fishing - disappointed that Amicalola Falls was not stocked with trout as often as he would have liked 😉. He was an incredible teacher and mentor to all those he loved. The words that sum up his life are Love, Family and Roses.

The service will be at 2:30pm on Friday, June 16th, at Transfiguration Catholic Church in Marietta, Georgia. Reception at the church hall will follow.

When Tomorrow starts without me, don’t think we are apart. For every time you think of me, I’m right here in your heart.
