I have known Pete as a dear friend for many years. Since his relocation from Tulsa to Florida, he has welcomed me into his home for many wonderful visits. He had a warm, caring nature partnered with a mischievous sense of humor, and it was always a joy to be around him. Rest in Peace, dear Pete.

"Pete was a sweetie, my mom Leona (Pete's auntie) would say.  He probably  put up with alot in that house full of so many women."   Unfortunately, I didn't have the pleasure of knowing Pete or many of my cousins very well because we lived in different parts of the United States and oh also there was the Age difference thing because my mom Leona was the baby and nearly a decade younger than Pete's mom, Alice.  My memories of Pete are the more recent ones from about 9 years ago.  It was fun spending time in Pete and John's home with all those big long legged greyhounds.  It was truly a special time reacquainting myself with Pete and the family.  I think a great time was had by all that week.  I know we will all miss him as we miss each of our loved ones when they pass on.   Matthew 5:4 Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.  I am comforted in knowing that Pete has passed into a place where pain is no longer part of his life.  Leona Butler,Rebecca Butler-Elzinga, Tamara Butler-Smith

Remembering Pete, each and every day as a wonderful fun brother.  Shorty before his death I shared a funny story with him and his blue eyes twinkled.  I will  miss him.

Uncle Pete was always fantastic with kids.  Which is fortunate, as he has a wealth of nieces and nephews; who have, in turn, produced even more nieces and nephews! He had a capacity to listen to a kid's ongoing story and treat it as something worth listening to. I remember when my daughter was about 7, and had learned about Veteran's Day at school.  She asked me who in our family had been in the military and wanted to call them and thank them.  On that list was Uncle Pete.  I gave her the phone, and dialed it for her, but when he picked up it was the little voice of Jess calling to chat him up and thank him for his service.  After about ten minutes, he asked her where her mom was, and to put me on.  Apparently, during their conversation, he had been mentally running down what kind of catastrophe must have happened to the family that Jess would be calling him out of the blue! He was probably equal parts happy to be thanked, and relieved that he wasn't inheriting a child that day.  But he was always engaged with us kids, always so much fun, and always loving.  We miss him. 

That was a wonderful obituary for Pete.  I guess I have known him since 1965.  He was always happy go lucky and loved to laugh.  Could not ask for a better person. I wish John and family members comfort in your grief.  Rest in peace Pete.   Love, Bob & Harold of St. Petersburg, Fl
