    I’ve known Pete since grade school years. His aunt lived two doors away, we went to Central High School together and we worked side by side at his family’s Frank-Len station on Losey Blvd. We always looked forward to reminiscing when we’d meet at Central’s reunions. I will miss you my friend. Rest in peace.
