I was saddened to hear of Peter's passing. His contributions to the Oakridge Optimist Club will always be remembered. Thanks for all of those memories.
I knew Peter through the Oakridge Optimists - he always had a kind word and a great story on the ready. Deepest sympathies to Mike and family.
Coach Pete - I will never forget the endless conversations we shared about our love of sports and I will never forget the business opportunities you made happen for me. Love to Mike and family. Gary and Connie
Dear Janine,Mike, Laura and Jake, Our condolences to your family for the loss of Peter. It is such a difficult time to lose a loved one. May he rest in peace. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Sue Ann and Ed
Mike , Janine and family, So sorry for your loss. It is such a difficult time no matter how prepared we believe we are. A chapter has closed and memories and love will remain.
When I was a teenager learning how to coach, Pete was always there with tips about baseball, tips about interacting with the kids, or a kind word for whoever he felt needed it that day. He helped me far more than I realized. My condolences to Jake, Mike and the rest of the family.
