I'm still in disbelief that you are gone because you were so strong and tough that I even thought you would out live everyone! You always like to push my buttons and I would do the same to you. You would always tease me that I was just like you and I would always tease you back but in reality it wasn't such a bad thing. Because of you I am strong willed and a fighter..and stubborn! When I was little you were my idol and I would get so excited when you walked through that door. You took me everywhere with you and I would cherish those times. You took on another daughter when you married Terry, Roseanne, and put her through the same torture you put your own children through by messing with us while we sleep by tying our socks together so when we got out of bed we would fall over. You would grab my entire arm with your foot or change the channel with it! I am lucky I inherited your artistic abilities and dry sense of humor. I guess the apple does not fall far from the tree. I will truly miss you and I can honestly admit it. I just wish I got the opportunity to say it you in person but we were never the mushy ushy type!

My favorite memory of Uncle Pete is when he came to Pittsburgh for my high school graduation. He came because he knew I was sad my dad couldn't be there. He was trying to embarrass me while I was walking up to get my diploma by following me up and taking all of these close up pictures! The thing is Uncle Pete, you couldn't embarrass me... even in my snobby teenage years. I admired you too much. I hope you knew how much I looked up to you. I hope you knew how much I loved you. I wish I had a chance to tell you that one more time. If you are looking down on us right now, I just want to say thank you. Thank you for being there for us when my dad died. Thank you for always making me laugh. Thank you for bringing Terry and Roseanne into our lives. Thank you for teaching me not to be so stubborn like you! I will bring all of our memories together with me forever. I love you and will miss you like crazy. My condolences to everyone feeling hurt by this loss. But like the priest said today, we will always be connected because of him. Now, let's be closer because of him. XOXO

Our deepest sympathies to Terri and family. We were very sorry to hear of Pete's passing. A great neighbor for over 20 years who was always willing to lend a helping hand. May he rest in peace.
