I am so very sorry to hear of Pete's passing. As his Choral Professor at Grand View, I was always appreciative of his kindness both to me and to his fellow students, his enthusiasm and energy, and his musical abilities. I know he will be greatly missed by family and friends and I am grateful to have had Pete in my life for those few years. God bless his memory and legacy and give comfort to all who will miss him.

Pete, you were a big brother to me. You were silly and put the hustle in Susan and me when we needed it. You were kind. You loved your family immensely and never met a kitty you didn't love. You are already missed beyond words. Keep an eye on us from up there. Love, Steph and the Doumas family
