Pete enjoyed the outdoors, fishing, hunting and gardening. As a building contractor, he built many houses in Monticello and he poured and finished the slab for the first Wal-Mart in Monticello. He and his brother Jackie and nephew Kevin owned and operated Triple L Construction in Monticello. He was a hard worker taking care of and loving his family.
