Pete, better known as Pepa, has left an imprint on a number of individuals that have crossed his path. He was a good friend, a great father, a wonderful grandfather, and a loving husband. Pepa is a man of many talents. He was a skilled carpenter, a plumber, an electrician, and an all-around "Mr. Fix It." His daughters and grandchildren always had a list of things for him to do and fix. He will be forever known for his story telling, his harmonica playing, and his contagious smile. You couldn't do anything but laugh when you were in his presence. He was a dedicated Christian and has always loved the Lord. He always taught us that family is everything, to never give up, and to love the Lord with all our heart. He leaves a legacy to all that knew him and he is now sitting in heaven, cancer free, telling stories with Jesus.
