laura: you have my deepest sympathy at this time. please relay my condolences to the entire family.. please let me know if you need anything.
Laura, You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers at this most difficult time. I so enjoyed learning much about the migratory birds and their patterns from Pete in the past few years. He was loved and admired by all my family at Denny Mfg. I know this will place a large void in your life, but can be filled with so many beautiful memories. My deepest sympathy. Diane Nall Variali

I still cherish those memories with all the family members. It was a.special and precious time. May you find strength from friendships during this time. My prayers to all
Laura and all, we have fond memories of Peter…his talents, charms, and love for his family.
