Oh where to begin. Uncle Petey. You’ve been lifelong friends with my dad since you were 6 and have been around me since I was born in ‘93. I remember you being over at the house all the time growing up to watch tv and sometimes even snooze in the chair or couch!! 😂 I enjoyed hearing your stories about the “olden” days 😉 and also talking about sports and other nonsense haha. You sometimes drove me crazy but hey, I definitely loved you and will miss your face when I go to see my dad at his house now. I’m glad Lincoln got to meet you, he enjoyed sitting in the backyard beside you in those chairs! I’ll see you sometime soon Uncle Petey. Tell Uncle Billy and my mom hi for me! ❤️
(Love and prayers are also sent to the family ❤️)
My Uncle Petie has been in our family long before I was born. He was there throughout my life. I will miss our arguments, talks, and I will forever miss you saying I love you too. I thank you for being part of my life, being my uncle, and for being a brother to my dad and uncles. I will miss you always, I will remember you forever, and I love you Uncle Pete to the moon and back. Rest well and easy.
Glad I had the pleasure of meeting you Bill. You always had a story to tell and made me laugh when we talked. You will be missed by many. Watch over us all friend. Hugs to all your family and friends.
Michael, I was so sorry to read about your dad’s passing. I am positive that your sweet grandma is hugging him now.
