Dear Nancy, Amy and family.
We were so saddened to hear of the recent passing of Pete.
We remember so well of the good times we all spent together in Brazil when visiting Amy, Joe and family. It was fun spending time at the Clube together, and our trip back to the airport.
It is always so very hard to lose a loved one. We are so sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.
Fondly,
Bill & Barbara McCarthy

Dear Laura/ Diotte Family & Nancy/ Root Family,
I had the absolute pleasure of traveling with this amazing family to Hilton Head Island not once, but twice! I have such fond memories of Uncle Pete and Aunt Nancy and am so saddened by this news. Nancy, may you find moments of comfort during a time where that seems unimaginable.
Laura, your Uncle Pete had a wonderful sense of humour and he will always live through the laughter of his friends and family. I know how much you loved your Uncle and I am so sorry for your loss, and I am sending LOVE to all of you!
Breanne/ The Card Family

Nancy,
I've been trying to put into words what Pete has meant to this world. Then I read this poem...
An old Cherokee told his grandson, "My son, there is a battle between two wolves inside us all. One is Evil. It is anger, jealousy, greed, resentment, inferiority, lies and ego. The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, humility, kindness, empathy, & truth."
The boy thought about it, and asked, "Grandfather, which wolf wins?"
The old man quietly replied,
"The one you feed."
I think of the opportunities Pete could have been the first wolf. But never did he waver from being his true self... the good wolf. Pete can only be described as: good, joy, peace, love, hope, humility, kindness, empathy & truth.
I am a better person for knowing him.

Nancy and family, you have my deepest condolences on your incredible loss. I met Peter through golf at least 10 years ago. I roomed with him in Lexington for a number of years on our annual May golf trip with the Roberts Group, as we are loving known in Kentucky. I also had the annual pleasure of losing on a daily basis to Peter and the Stannard Foursome while golfing in Gaylord Michigan at the Canadian Law Enforcement event. Once Pete discovered I was from the West end of Windsor we had lots to talk about specifically the people we both knew from that end of the city. Rooter was one of a kind who wil be truly missed by everyone who knew an loved him. He will forever remain in my thoughts and prayers.
