I just learned that we lost Pete. I'm shocked. Pete was a friend and roommate at College of Charleston, but before the Internet, we lost track of so many people. I tried to track him down today and just learned we lost him a few years ago. I probably haven't seen or spoken to him since the early 1980s, and yet I still remember Pete as one of the kindest, friendliest, interesting, giving, patient, peaceful and wonderful people I've ever known. He taught me to play the guitar, yes, but he also showed me so much more. Rest in peace, Pete. I miss you and will never forget you.

I've only known him for a few years, he was always kind and considerate and had quite a unique sense of humor. He will continue to live in the hearts of those who loved him.

Traveled many a road with you my old friend. Hope this one is a little easier than the last and that many songs will come of it. I'll be listening.
