I knew Pete for a long time as a customer and later as a friend. He was a great guy and will be missed.
My condolences to Peter’s family. I remember him very fondly as a classmate at Central class of 1959.
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.
