Pete’s family would like to extend a special thank you to Kyong Theison and Kristen Griffin for serving as backup “yobo” whenever needed. To all the Florida family, your love for Petey was always felt and cherished. To Chief Robertson and Chief Calandra, the joy you brought to our father’s face will never be forgotten. To Chief Q, Joe, and Greg, your sincerity and thoughtfulness is appreciated more than words can express. To his mother Jewel, thank you most of all. You gave us a man that gave love freely and asked for nothing in return. A man who felt pride and accomplishment, not in his Bronze Star or 30 years active duty, but rather in the success and fulfillment of his family. A man that always showed respect, led by example, and would freely welcome you into his family. This is our father. Loving husband, father, grandpa, USAF Ammo Chief. IYAAYAS. FAITH CHAPEL FUNERAL HOME SOUTH, 100 Beverly Pkwy is entrusted with the arrangements. You may express your condolences online at www.fcfhs.com
