Condolence: It is now December 3, 2018 and it has been almost 3 months since dads transition into eternity. I am still so lost and desperate for my father that I cant even express it into words. I miss hearing his voice and would do anything to look into his eyes and tell him how proud and honored I have been to be his son. Thank you dad for blessing me with such an amazing life. You taught me so much and were always a huge integral part of my life. Mom has missed you so very much and not a second goes by where she wouldn't do anything to experience what I have already expressed. Kris and Tam have told me as well how very much they miss you and what you have forever etched in the hearts. Dad I hope I have the strength, passion, and bravery you always showed to guide me for however long God deems that I have on earth. I know you are always with me and I look at your picture everyday with our hands interlocked. I love you so very much and carry the thought and picture in my mind of the day we are reunited in heaven. Oh how I can't wait for that day!!!!

Condolence: It is with a heavy heart that I recently learned of Pete's death. I had not known that he was sick. It seems only yesterday that I said goodbye to him at work. And it doesn't seem that long when I, as a new employee just starting out, took a course from him, Jack, and Howell.
Pete was a conscientious and respected employee who took seriously his work of educating other coworkers about security. He was a trusted friend to many. He loved and respected his family. He will be missed.

Condolence: So it has been over 3 weeks since dads passing and there is not a second that goes by that he is not in my thoughts. He was just such a wonderful father and special person. He truly left a legacy of a lifetime and I would do anything to be able hold his hand and give him a hug right now. Dad I love you and miss you. One day your boy will be coming home and when that day comes I will be in full sprint straight into your loving arms!!!!

Condolence: Oh, Pete, I will miss you. At work, you sat on the DAAB for years and helped w/ every kind of disability accommodation for classes. You were creative and fun, with the messiest, craziest cubicle I ever saw! Racks of Hawaiian shirts, I mean really...Penn State mementos, all kinds of toys, aye, aye, aye. You were unique and could never be replaced. My sincerest condolences to Karen and the family.

Condolence: We were so sad to hear of Pete's passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you

Condolence: I was so sorry to hear that Pete passed away. It’s very sad news and we’ll miss him. But thinking about Pete, after a while, made me smile. I can’t help it – Pete was that kind of person: always friendly, always fun to be around, always someone who made you feel good. One of the fondest memories of my time at NSA was having the opportunity to talk about history in Pete’s popular information security course. I’ve never been in a classroom like Pete’s – full of student engagement and packed with corny jokes that made everyone laugh, all of which was accompanied by foam Steeler footballs that Pete tossed around the room. It was an extraordinarily positive, comfortable, and effective learning environment. Teaching to Pete’s students was always easy. Thanks to his special personality, they were eager to learn, willing to ask penetrating questions, and excited to be in the class. For those of us who knew Pete as a friend, his memory will always bring a smile – I think he would find that to be one good way to pay tribute to him and his legacy. I know that God has blessed him, and that he’ll always live in our fondest memories.

Condolence: Just wanted everyone to know not a second has gone by where I am not thinking of dad whether it is talking to him on the phone or seeing him in person. I simply just miss hearing his voice. I know that he is watching over us and am eternally comforted knowing he is always with me and that one day I will once again be wrapped in his arms in Paradise!!!! Dad I love you and will be coming home once my journey on earth is through and it will be glorious!

Condolence: Dear Karen and Family,

I am deeply saddened to learn of Pete's untimely passing. I will always remember our times at POP Church. His extraordinary kindness, generosity, compassion, devotion to God and his family were his greatest attributes.

I send to you all my deepest sympathy.

I am so sorry to his his service, as I will be out of town.

Blessings to you all,
Sue
