Mary and sons,
May your hearts be eased by the wonderful memories of Pete. I am keeping you all in my prayers during this tough time. Pete was such an amazing man, with a smile and kind word for everyone he met. His positive attitude and beautiful smile was reflected on all of us here in the Alumax family.

When I came to work with Alumax, Pete had already been hired to work with me.That was a lucky day for me, because Pete became a friend and a coworker that I could always rely upon.His personality and tenaciousness allowed him to handle problem situations effectively, which made every day easier for many of us. Pete was always quick with a smile and a kind word.I am one of the blessed ones because I got to know Pete along the way. God speed, Pete - you will be remembered.

I will always remember Pete for his smile and caring ways. You both will be forever in my heart. Love Bev
