We are all so sorry and surprised to hear about Pete. There are no words anyone can say that will lighten the feeling of loss. Lynn, you were so blessed to have such a great dad. I know it is very hard right now, but it does get better with time.
Although I haven't seen Uncle Pete for a number of years, I remember him as a very friendly person with a fiesty personality that made him fun to be with. Our families had many good times together on family vacations on grandma's farm in Arkansas and also in California. We all missed Pete and Ethlyn when they moved to Arkansas and I know my mom was probably hoping they would move back to California one day. It was always a treat to go over to Pete and Ethlyn's house expecially when Ethlyn was cooking! I have so many great memories of Pete and I will always treasure them.
All Our Best Wishes,
Vicki and Bruce Bockie
