After a trip to Nashville several years ago, he became an avid country and western music fan. The only music on our radios from then on and had multiple cd's. He was a Buffalo Bills fanatic.
Pete served in the Army from 1968 to 1971 (with an 18-month tour in Vietnam, awarded a Bronze Star) and wore the MIA/POW bracelet until it was removed during his hospital stay.
