Member of St. Michael Catholic Church where he was President of the Holy Name Society, sang in the choir, and served in numerous capacities as a gifted and loving member of the laity. He truly cherished the many close friendships he cultivated and the fellowship in Christ they shared. He instilled that faith is the best foundation you can have, and being happy and having love fill your heart is what truly matters. Pete enjoyed the beauty of the Outer Banks, hunting, and bus trips to the casino. Though he refused to be defined by his disability; his hope, courage, and optimism were an inspiration to all.
