Dear Marlene and family,
Kelly and I and all of our kids would like to extend our sincerest condolences to you at this time. We've known Pete since he first moved to Saskatoon, and he has been an awesome friend to me since day one. He got me hooked on collecting old guitars and amps (Exactly how many guitars is too many Pete? There is never such a thing as too many Bill...LOL), and we spent lots of time hanging out over the years "jammin", talking about family, music, cars, bikes, computers, rodeo, cameras, photography, work, people and everything else in between. I don't think there was much we didn't talk about. Every time I saw him, I couldn't help but smile, and laugh out loud, and thank God for his friendship. He helped my kids with their instruments and music lessons, and he always remembered their names and he was always encouraging them. And we were both busy people who had other friends and things to do in life, but when we did see each other our friendship was genuine and sincere. Kelly and I, and our kids are going to miss Pete with all our hearts, but we can all say we were better people for knowing him. God bless you Marlene and your entire family through the coming days, and thank you for sharing this wonderful guy with the rest of us. He was so very proud of his family and he loved you guys and bragged about you always. And now he has gone on into glory and he joyfully waits for you when your time here on earth is done, and it will be an awesome reunion. We love you guys dearly, and we are praying for you and thinking of you daily.
