Oh no! He really took me under his wing at NAHBS Indianapolis. Introduced me to Ben and Dario and other builders. Heck of a guy.

Aw, that's terrible news.

A sweet man who herded cats here as well as anyone possibly could.

RIP, Pete. You will be missed.

Oh man... God Bless you Pete. Sad to see you go.

I still have a message in my inbox from him titled "Friends are Dear". He was definitely one of the good guys on the forum.

Sad to hear...Pete was a good man. I had the pleasure of meeting him a couple of times. Was it the cancer he had battle the past few years?

RIP

Only knew Pete in the forum world, but even there he was one of the kindest people I've ever met.

He will be missed. Thoughts and prayers to his friends and loved ones.

sad to hear this. I never had the opportunity to meet him, but always liked and respected him.
