"Pete" returned from service in World War II and read an article in Readers Digest describing business opportunities for returning servicemen. The authors forecast a potential "baby boom" and the need for diaper services. His business, ultimately Tri-City Diaper Service, was active for over 30 years until it and he were both retired by paper diapers. He was also the successful manager of the Tri-City Towel and Linen Service for many of those years.
He had an active retirement, filled with travel, woodworking, golf, and tennis. His greatest gifts were his charm and enthusiasm. He had a great love for his family and was greatly loved in return. He will be missed.
