He was a member of the Port Arthur Men’s Bowling Association and served many times as president. Pete’s bowling game was good enough to take him to the Bowling Nationals where he competed a total of forty-seven times. Pete enjoyed spending time coaching little league, pony and pony colt baseball for Groves. He coached for many years and had a true love for the game and he took pride in teaching his players about the game he loved. Pete was a loving husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather.
