Petey endured all situations as such; serious to funny, loving and giving, with a guaranteed memory. You could always count on Petey to give you a long lasting unforgettable memory! In any setting Petey would find a way to make you laugh! Growing up, he would often say to his younger brother, when mad-don’t follow my butt! He was a dedicated Denver Bronco and LA Clippers fan. He loved a beer whether cold or warm! He never sweated the small stuff and was able to roll with any circumstances! His burial was his final bill, he handled it like a “G”!
