So sad to hear about Pete’s passing. A long time customer and a great man. Had many great conversations and was a very generous and polite man.

Thoughts and prayers for all the family for the loss of Pete. Met Pete 35 years ago at GE and developed a friendship around Indy & Nascar racing. So many memories especially on the annual Indy 500 trips with the racing gang. Will miss the interesting conversation on so many topics and his upbeat personality. Life will not be the same.
