So sorry for your loss.  Your father will be in no more pain.  Know that he will be looking down on you and your family, watching, protecting, and smiling.

Memories of Yock are full of great tennis matches, wonderful family times in the neighborhood, laughter and having a neighbor that you could really count on. Your dad and husband will be missed dearly by the many he touched.

A light has gone out on Carlo Rd.  We will miss you.  A dear friend and neighbor. Joyce & Bob Travers

Melissa,  I'm so sorry to hear about your father.  Please know that our thoughts are with you and your mother.  Cindy

You'll always be remembered as "The awesome bus driver" and practically my second grandpa. My heart holds so many memories. I love you Mr. Pete. Rest easy angel.

Your husband/dad is home now, no more pain, no more sleepless nights. We will miss him but have fun memories of you and your family on the holidays. Yock and Gina and I were the out laws or in laws. Always had fun with that. One other think that is a memory was that you husband/dad would have butterflies land on him. That is so beautiful to see. Nature knew was a kind man. If you need any think you have my number. Yock loved you all so much and was so proud of Melissa and most of all his grand children. Love to all.

The world got a bit dimmer. Love and miss you, Yock. Pattie, Melissa, and RJ, my prayers are with you.

I'll miss you uncle Yock. Thoughts with all his family and friends. El Niño.

Our deepest condolences to your entire family at this difficult time. May he rest in peace.

Deepest Condolences to the Kaufman family.
Pete was one of the nicest guys you would ever want to meet. 
I enjoyed having lunches with him when we were out on the road.

Dear Patti and Melissa:  My heart aches for your loss.  Your friends are all sending prayers to help comfort you at this dark time.  We will all miss our beloved "Yock", his funny sense of humor and dry wit kept us all smiling.  Love you both. Lee
