Born and raised in Sunrise, Wyoming, Pete was a life-long resident of Wyoming as well as a four year resident and student in Leadville, Colorado together with his young family.

After graduating from Sunrise High School, he enlisted in the Navy and was stationed in San Diego, CA. He met his wife Isabel, a Wyoming native from Torrington, married, was honorably discharged and then moved back to Wyoming to start his family in Casper.

Pete retired from Mossholder's Furniture store in Casper and enjoyed spending time with family and friends as well as fishing. He was a great singer and guitar player. He passed that passion on to his children. He is vividly remembered for the music he made together with his extended family and friends around many happy occasions. The next talent observed by many, were his dancing skills. Standing above all his traits were his loyalty and love for his family, his friends, his community, and his country.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be held on March 10, 2012 at 10:00 AM at Our lady of Fatima Church, 1401 CY Avenue Casper, WY 82604.
