Sincere thoughts and prayers go to you Darlene and your family. May your faith and memories keep you strong through this difficult time!

Darlene my deepest sympathy to you and your family

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

words cannot say enough how much I miss Pete. He has always been there for my family and I. He agreed that I probably held the record for the number of times he put my old Avalanche up on his lift. His signature chuckle will be missed. My children would come back from seeing him at the shop and always reported "we made Pete laugh today". He truly was one of Beaver Dam's all-time greatest persons. We will always miss him, sorry for your loss.

I wasn't a close friend of Pete's when I lived in Beaver Dam, just an acquaintance. But that acquaintanceship goes way back to the mid sixties. I always knew him as an honest and hard working person. May God cherish his presence in Heaven, and grant Peace and Love to his friends and family still with us on Earth.

Pete worked with me at the then Luken Lumber Co.; back when he had a brief stint in the construction trade. He was a great guy and a quick learner. I always enjoyed it when we worked together.

Our sincere condolences to Darlene and to all of Pete's family.
Our prayers are with you.
Alan Indermuehle, Mary Drews, and Carol Herreman, cousins.
