Pete, as many knew him, loved to do many things including riding motorcycles, shooting pool, fishing, hunting and gardening. He especially loved to barbecue for his family and friends at which he was the World's Best! With his tools, he could fix or build anything!
He retired from Nalco Chemical Co. in 1987 and became an avid camper enjoying traveling in his RV to various parks and campgrounds. He loved to feed and watch the squirrels, birds and deer. Pete and Joyce made many new wonderful friends around the campfire.
He proudly served in the Korean War as Sgt. 1st Class in the U.S. Army 2nd Infantry Division and was a member of the American Legion. He received numerous awards including marksmanship, sporting events and the Korean War Service Medal from South Korea.
He had a great sense of humor and will be greatly missed by everyone who knew and loved him.
