Lived you so much. Called you and you really were my brother. I will miss you so much. Deer hunting will not ever be the same.
Pete I will miss seeing you in Sunday mass. Our loving god the father Rest In Peace.
Pete,
You were my very first EMS instructor 38 yrs ago. Learned plenty of EMT skills and fire tactics from you over the years. Your bride Mary worked with me at two different FD’s and learned from her as well. Stayed connected and laughed at the many stories in retirement. I’m proud to have trained and worked along side of you both. I was, and am, better because of all of it!
Rest easy brother…we’ll get it from here.
I worked with Mr. Novy at Bass Pro Shop. A very wonderful person. Always smiling and happy. My condolences.
