Oh, Pete, how we will miss seeing you at the many events you volunteered for. Scouts, LTLL, the Dixons were always there and ready to support. You will live on through your beautiful family who will carry on your bright soul. So many hugs to Jen and the kids.
What a great guy Pete was. It’s been many years, but I will always remember how he Always brought fun and a smile every time I saw him.
RIP Pete. Folks here will always remember you.
I knew you before you could walk and have loved you every day since. You have been an amazing friend to my family and I will always remember the good times. My heart goes out to Jennifer, the kids and Suzanne 💗
My deepest sympathies to your family. I knew Pete’s dad Bob well and he reminded me of him. He always had a smile and a joke to tell I know he will be sorely missed. Peace to your Family.
Our deepest condolences to Jen and the family
I am so so sorry Jennifer!! Sending so many love and hugs to you and your family!
So sorry to hear this! Thoughts and prayers for you and your family.
Fly with the angels my brotha
I first met Peter when we worked together at Chas Levy. Peter was a kindhearted and caring person. You can can truly see how much he loved and care for Jennifer. Their love was truly special. We lost touch over the years and through Facebook we were reconnected again. Seeing all the pictures of how your family developed. I am sincerely heartbroken to hear of Peter’s passing. God bless you all through this time.
What a loss! So sorry Jen. Pete was a true original. Kind and gracious. Funny and clever. He knew his stuff.
Whether it was work-related or playing Pass The Cup at a Sox Game, Pete always left his mark.
He will be missed!
My wife Karen and I have known Pete for a very long time. He actually took all of the photos at our wedding when digital photography was a new thing. He was a great guy and over the years of working with him, it was always a pleasure to see him come to town. Such a great smile and so smart. Our deepest condolences to Jen and the boys. Gone too soon. Miss you Pete. Jim and Karen
Pete and i went to grade school at IJP together. We made mischief with many of our friends. I have very fond memories of one Halloween with Paul D. where we could have made better choices. I
am shocked to hear of his death. I hope his friends and family will take some measure of solace in what I am sure are some great memories of him.
Oh my God, Pete… You are so sweet, so good, so kind. So curious about life and people. All the people. You brought such joy to folks. And were so generous with that joy. I love you, Pete… And so does everybody else.
My sincerest sympathy to the family, I have known Pete for many years. I was a business friend of his dad Bob as well. Pete’s infectious smile always reminded me of Bob. Pete always had a good joke to tell but was also focused and professional in his work. I am sure he was a great husband, father, and friend to all who knew him. He will be sorely missed. Peace John Cowley
I have known and worked with Pete for the better part of 25 years and I wish I could better express sadness in my heart with his passing. Pete was such a kind and genuine individual and he will be sorely missed. My thoughts and prayers are with his entire family and may Pete Rest in Peace!
I knew Pete from my grandson participating in Little League. We were new and knew no one, but Pete always made us feel welcome and not invisible. He was a man who seemed to have a big heart and a kind spirit and although we did not know him well, we knew he was a good man and mourn his loss. Our deepest sympathy to his family and friends.
Dear Jen and family…Sincere sympathy on the passing of Pete. Fond memories will always fill our hearts and minds forever. Many a time Pete and the boys were at our house as they grew up…fun times. I am sure Bob and Suzanne, as well as your folks, were there to greet Pete upon his arrival. With Love, Bob Radostits (Matt’s Dad).
My deepest sympathies to Pete family He was a Great Guy and will be missed
Peter and I grew up together back in Homewood on Stedhall rd- he was my very 1st friend and one of my best friends from the time I was 4 years old to about 13. We convinced people we were cousins for about 7 years cuz we would get teased we were always hanging out. We were partners in crime yet he would always take the fall and get grounded – once I saw him back outside I knew he was free again and we’d hop on our bikes and see were the next adventure took us. He taught me to be tuff no sissy girls for him! He was a funny dude and we were always laughing at each other or someone else! From bikes, tag, hiding seek, kickball, football and everything else you can imagine ! He would pick on me but anyone else did he stood up for me and he always picked me 1st to be on his team before the other boys in my neighborhood- he was the Best ! I will always love you Pete and cherish our childhood together! My heart breaks for your family for u truly were one of a kind and will always be My 1st Best Friend in this world. Thanks Pete you will be missed !

if laughter is the antidote to life’s occurrences Peter was there to administer the medication.
He shared the dosage with all that had the pleasure of spending Gods most precious gift of time with him.
Gods speed Pete. Heaven is a roar with the laughter of your contagious smile and that twinkle in your eye that will live with all of us eternally.
Thinking of you all. Rest peacefully Pete.
With sympathy,
Shelbie and Mike
So very sorry for your loss.
