Randy, Clifford and Ann, Please accept our condolences in the passing of your father. I remember talking with him at my mother's birthday party just a short two years ago. It seems just like yesterday. Take care and God Bless. Kent, Ikumi and Sean Young

I first met Pete in the late forties. Olga had her eye on him, and we would wait for the city bus on the corner where he lived in case he was outside. I guess it worked, because I was her attendant at their wedding. We remained very close over the years. They were my rock when Lee was sick. When I married Jim, they invited us to join their domino group. We continued those fun times until we moved to Lumberton. To Randy, Clifford and Ann: our sincere condolences. May he rest in peace. Renella and Jim DeLoney
