To the family and friends of Pete, you have my sincere condolences. I paried, danced, sang with and argued with Pete many times over the last 15 years. Pete was his own person and in today’s world that was refreshing. Rest in peace Pete. You will be truly missed.

Both my husband & I worked with Pete at Glenmore Distillery for those 40 years he was there. We knew his father (Walter) from Glenmore as well. We are so sorry for the entire families loss. May you keep yourselves at peace with the wonderful memories you’ve made, close in heart. May he RIP.
