Dear Lauraine and The Pizza Family, We are so sorry to hear about Pete. Our hearts and prayers are with you to help you get through the pain. He was someone you always looked forward to talking to at the beach club... a truly nice guy! He had such a cheerful personality and a wonderful outlook on life... he always had a nice thing to say everytime he saw you. I remember especially staying late at the beach most days (like your family) and watching Pete in the pool with the girls. He truly enjoyed the beach and enjoyed his life to the fullest. We will miss him dearly! Love , The West Family...Diane, Neil, Melissa, & Michael

Dear Lauraine, Emily & Jillian - Pete will be sorely missed by us and the kids. It wasn't a day at the beach until Pete stopped and and chatted about what a beautiful day it was or how much he was enjoying the water. The nicest part of all was that he always made time to play with Morgan and Shannon when they were with Emily on the beach. Please accept our condolences and best wishes during this difficult time. Jeffrey, Karen, Morgan & Shannon Reng

Dear Lauraine, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. My thoughts are with you and the girls. My family and I had a great time at our college reunion at your house a few years back - Pete and you were great hosts. Love, Jigna

Dear Lauraine, Emily, and Jillian, We are so sorry to hear about Pete. He would always stop by or wave when he was rollerblading around the neighborhood, and always took the time to talk to the kids about what they were doing. He was one of the friendliest, most easygoing people we've ever known. Know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. Renee, David, Jonathan, and Evan Lewis

Dear Lauraine, Pete was a very good friend and Neighbor and our Fish Doctor. I used to count on him for any matter that came up with home, kids and many things. It was always fun sitting with him and having a beer or playing Ball in the backyard. I used to admire his patience with the kids. He will always be in our hearts. May his soul rest in peace. Our prayers are with you. We all are with you and Emily and Jillian always.

Dear Laurraine, Emily and Jillian, Our hearts and our prayers go out to you. We'll always remember him as a fun loving guy who liked to zip around on his ride on lawnmower. He always had a smile on his face and would stop what he was doing to give a wave and say Hi. He was a true family man. We will miss him dearly. Love, Linda & Rob Lavin
