Uncle Pete! Hard to believe it’s been 25 years. You are missed as much today as when we first gained you as an angel. I feel your presence often. So much love and appreciation for you and how you showed up for your family.

I remember playing ball with you at Cottman and Torresdale, your favorite line was "feeling it like Reggie" Everytime you shot a jumper. You weren't the biggest guy but you played hard and always showed us younger guys love , whether through hoops or just words of wisdom. Continue to fly High in the clouds.
