Peter and I were great friends and neighbors. Pete was a really nice guy and very helpful if you needed anything repaired as well as his brother Greg. When I was having trouble with my lawnmower Pete told me about an additive for the gas that helped keep all my gas powered tools running. The last time I saw Pete he was working at the Home Depot in West Branch. We had dinner together and talked about memories when we were growing up. It was sad to hear of his passing and his wife Lyn as she was also a neighbor only a few houses from where I grew up.
