He worked out of his home where he made lasting relationships with all his customers and looked forward to all the time he had spent over the years with them and felt as they were part of his family.

Pete was truly family oriented and always made his family his top priority. He never missed any of his grandchildren’s events, he looked forward to spending time with them and he especially loved the Sunday dinners at his house where he made the best spaghetti sauce and meatballs.
