Sherilyn Sheroian wrote a sympathy message

“Pete was a very special friend for the past 13 years. We had so much fun just doing the little things together: Target runs, going to the grocery store together, pretending we were shopping for apartments just so we could see what the new places looked like. He was a great “Uncle” for my kitties, and he was always there. I miss him and the friendship we had. Peace to Barb, Chuck, Andrea and the rest of his family. Pete was an amazing friend and person.”

Jeffrey Kays wrote a sympathy message

“My life is made better by Pete. He was my “Minnesota” little brother at SMU…reminding me that a smile, encouraging comment, and a joyful laugh can be a choice. You will be missed here…but our reunion will be joyful. Be at peace Pete.”

Dan Kosch wrote a sympathy message

“I was very sad to hear of Pete’s passing. I knew Pete as a supplier to him and his company Zelis. I actually had a web meeting scheduled with him for today at 3 (in less than 45 minutes). Pete was not only a top notch professional in his career but I could tell by how he worked with me that he was a soft spoken, trusting, genuine and caring person. I am sad in my heart for Pete’s family and good friends. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. May God be with you at this time. Dan Kosch”
