Pete was a truly positive-thinking person which he attributed to the teachings of the Dale Carnegie course "How to Win Friends and Influence People." His passion throughout his life was music. He is fondly remembered by family and friends for his renditions on the trumpet of 'Happy Birthday' and 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow,' in addition to the jazz tunes he loved and played so much. Pete was an accomplished salesperson throughout his life, an interested and avid learner, a superb conversationalist, and a believer in Christ.
