Dear Joyce & Jeff & Family, We send our deepest sympathy for Pete’s passing ~~ he’ll always be remembered for his humor and the good times ~~ May he RIP and May God Bless you all, With sympathy & friendship, Mike & Janice
Loosing a dear loved one in death is a difficult experience and a time when we need comfort. It is my hope that you will find comfort in the promise of God “that there is going to be a resurrection of the righteous and the unrighteous”. (Acts 24:15). A real hope of been reunited with our love one on the soon to be restored earthly paradise. When God’s will is been done on earth as it is in heaven. (Luke 23:43; Matthew 6:10). Then, sickness, pain and death will be no more. (Revelation 21:3, 4.)
So sorry to hear. Jeff, thinking about you my friend.

I had the privilege of working for Pete at the Belle Air Drive-in for a couple of summers. My favorite memory was calling him and asking if I could bring a few friends to the show that night. I packed 11 friends into my car, and he said “Great Alex …. only a few friends? “
Sending our prayers and love. May God’s peace that surpasses all understanding be with you. Matt, Tammy, Phil and Rick
