Laurene, Craig, Brent -sorry to here about the passing of Uncle Pete. He was a Rondeau fixture for me and and of course part of many fun times in my childhood years. The comments support Pete exceptional mind to detail and precision. I will always remember the centreboard mover he designed for the lark sailboat which was unique and assisted in my sailing.

I'm so sorry to hear of your lose and want you to know, your in my thoughts. He is too young to leave, but life isn't always fair. I worked for Peter at General Motors and he was the best boss I ever had. He reorganized our department to be very efficient, well organized and he rewarded those who did good work for him. I will always remember him as a very smart man. May God continue to bless your family.
