When I was young, my parents, Larry and Carol Stoecker, played cards with Pete on a regular basis. I have fond memories of going to their house for what was sure to be a nightly, and into the morning event. They had so much fun. I'm sure the cards will be ready, and dealt, for when they all meet again.
From my family to yours, you have our sympathy!!!!!

Nick and Family:
I just wanted to let you know how sorry I am to hear of "Pete's" passing. As good friends of my mother (Sophie) and father (Red), I spent many hours with Dottie and Pete. They both will forever hold a place in my heart that warms at the thought of their memories. I know the four of them are together again in heaven.
