I consider myself very lucky to have known Pete for over 15 years. He was one of those people who accomplished so much during their lives, yet were so modest, that you continue to learn more of what they've gotten done long after they are gone. Pete leaves a hole that no one person will be able to fill. Hopefully the many individuals he inspired can do so together.

Thanks, I have many more taken during 'adventures' with Pete and his constant companion Monty.

Another article from yesterdays Patch. Not too many folks know that Pete was instrumental in acquiring many folks playground, the Wharton tract, from the family back in 1954, as well as many of the states WMA's. He had a way of talking folks into things, like the time he talked me into helping him get his aging RV home from Cape May. He was the definition of the term conservationist, he abhorred being referred to as an environmentalist and quickly set the record straight when identified as such :clint:
